By the light of nature we see God as a God above us, by the light of the law we see Him as a God against us, but by the light of the gospel we see Him as Emmanuel, God with us.

It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).

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 should take heed of pride; it is a sin that turned angels into devils.

The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.

Hearkners, we say, seldom hear good of themselves.

Knowledge is vain and fruitless which is not reduced to practice.
