Sin endeavors to subject the blessed God to the humor and lust of every person in the world

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

Paul was so much taken with Christ, that nothing sweeter than Jesus could drop from his lips and pen.

When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.

All the prayers in the Scripture you will find to be reasoning with God, not a multitude of words heaped together.

We may be truly said to worship God, though we lack perfection; but we cannot be said to worship Him if we lack sincerity.

What a curious workmanship is that of the eye, which is in the body, as the sun in the world; set in the head as in a watch-tower, having the softest nerves for receiving the greater multitude of spirits necessary for the act of vision!
