If you would have a clear evidence that little love, that little faith, that little zeal, you have is true? Then live up to that love, live up to that faith, live up to that zeal that you have; and this will be evidence beyond all contradiction.

When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.

A man full of hope will be full of action.

Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death

It is the very nature of grace to make a man strive to be most eminent in that particular grace which is most opposed to his bosom sin.

Grace and glory differ very little; the one is the seed, the other is the flower; grace is glory militant, glory is grace triumphant.

Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified; but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.
