Cold prayers always freeze before they reach heaven .

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.

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

Consider that the trials and troubles, the calamities and miseries, the crosses and losses that you meet with in this world, are all the hell that ever you shall have.

Whatever sin the heart of man is most prone to, that the devil will help forward.

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

God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
