If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies.

Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this, for your sermons last but an hour or two, your life preaches all the week. If Satan can only make a covetous minister a lover of praise, of pleasure, of good eating, he has ruined your ministry. Give yourselves to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God.

Do not fear the face of man. Remember how small their anger will appear in eternity.

It is a sure mark of grace to desire more.

Your afflictions may only prove that you are more immediately under the Father's hand. There is no time that the patient is such an object of tender interest to the surgeon, as when he is bleeding beneath his knife. So you may be sure if you are suffering from the hand of a reconciled God, that His eye is all the more bent on you.

O believing brethren! What an instrument is this which God hath put into your hands! Prayer moves Him that moves the universe.

Depend upon it, it is God's Word, not our comment upon God's Word, that saves souls.
