The only ground of God's love is his love.

That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.

As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.

Look, as a painted man is no man, and as painted fire is no fire, so a cold prayer is no prayer.

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

Christ is a most precious commodity, he is better than rubies or the most costly pearls; and we must part with our old gold, with our shining gold, our old sins, our most shining sins, or we must perish forever. Christ is to be sought and bought with any pains, at any price; we can not buy this gold too dear. He is a jewel more worth than a thousand worlds, as all know who have him. Get him, and get all; miss him and miss all.

Ah, believer, it is only Heaven that is above all winds, storms, and tempests; God did not cast man out of Paradise that he might find another paradise in this world.
