When we are calling to God to turn the eye of His favor towards us He is calling to us to turn the eye of our obedience towards Him.

What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.

We must never promise ourselves any more than God has promised us.

Love is the root; obedience is the fruit.

The true Christian hero will appear in the cause of Christ, not only when it is prevailing, but when it seems to be declining; (he) will be on the right side, though it be not the rising side.

I would think it a greater happiness to gain one soul to Christ than mountains of silver and gold to myself.

We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
