Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.

Sin will usher in the greatest and the saddest losses that can be upon our souls.

When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.

Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.

God sees us in secret, therefore, let, us seek his face in secret. Though heaven be God's palace, yet it is not his prison.

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

A preacher's life should be a commentary upon his doctrine... Heavenly doctrines should always be adorned with a heavenly life.
