We tend to have mixed feelings about the holy. There is a sense in which we are at the same time attracted to it and repulsed by it. Something draws us toward it, while at the same time we want to run away from it. We can’t seem to decide which way we want it. Part of us yearns for the holy, while part of us despises it. We can’t live with it, and we can’t live without it.

No one was ever called by God to greater suffering than God's only begotten Son.

Most Christians salute the sovereignty of God but believe in the sovereignty of man.

We fall privately before we ever fall publicly.

Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.

Our prayers cannot force God to do anything, but He uses them as His own instruments to bring about His will.

Preachers must always fight the temptation to preach anything but Christ and Him crucified.
