Ah! sinner, remember this, there is no way on earth effectually to be rid of the guilt, filth, and power of sin, but by believing in a Saviour. It is not resolving, it is not complaining, it is not mourning, but believing, that will make thee divinely victorious over that body of sin that to this day is too strong for thee, and that will certainly be thy ruin, if it be not ruined by a hand of faith.

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.

Cold prayers always freeze before they reach heaven .

Humility can weep over other men's weaknesses, and joy and rejoice over their graces.

He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.

Grace is given to trade with; it is given to lay out, not lay up.

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