A man may be a false prophet and yet speak the truth.

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.

When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.

A curse lies upon those that, when the truth suffers, have not a word to defend it.

Sin is not so sweet in the committing as it is heavy and bitter in the reckoning.

When we shoot an arrow, we look to the fall of it; when we send a ship to sea, we look for its return; and when we sow seed, we look for a harvest; so likewise when we sow our prayers, through Christ, in God's bosom, shall we not look for an answer and observe how we speed? It is a seed of atheism to pray and not to look how we speed. But a sincere Christian will pray and wait, and strengthen his heart with promises out of the Word, and never leave praying and looking up till God gives him a gracious answer.

It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell.
