The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.

Repentance is the vomit of the soul.

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.

There are three things that earthly riches can never do; they can never satisfy divine justice, they can never pacify divine wrath, nor can they every quiet a guilty conscience. And till these things are done man is undone.

True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.

He is the best preacher, not that tickles the ear, but that breaks the heart.

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
