A believer longs after God, to come into his presence, to feel his love, to feel near to him in secret, to feel in the crowd that he is nearer than all the creatures. Ah! dear brethren, have you ever tasted this blessedness? There is greater rest and solace to be found in the presence of God for one hour than in an eternity of the presence of man.

I tell you, brethren, if mercies and if judgments do not convert you, God has no other arrows in His quiver.

A beam of God's countenance is enough to fill the heart of a believer to overflowing. It is enough to light up the pale cheek of a dying saint with seraphic brightness, and make the heart of the lone widow sing for joy.

Just as the roots of trees take firmer hold when they are contending with the wind; so faith takes firmer hold when it struggles with adverse appearances.

Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.

Never forget that the end of a sermon is the salvation of the people.

Are we not all immortal till our work is done?
