The wronged side is always the safest.

Gospel repentance is not a little hanging down of the head. It's a working of the heart until your sin becomes more odious to you than any punishment for it.

No sin is so great but the satisfaction of Christ and His mercies are greater; it is beyond comparison. Fathers and mothers in tenderest affections are but beams and trains to lead us upwards to the infinite mercy of God in Christ.

The life of a Christian should be a meditation how to unloose his affection from inferior things. He will easily die that is dead before in affection.

It is Christ's manner to trouble our souls first, and then to come with healing in his wings.

Times are bad, God is good.

The whole life of a Christian should be nothing but praises and thanks to God; we should neither eat nor sleep, but eat to God and sleep to God and work to God and talk to God, do all to His glory and praise.
