Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

Cold prayers always freeze before they reach heaven .

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

Sin is bad in the eye, worse in the tongue, worse still in the heart, but worst of all in the life.

The two poles could sooner meet, than the love of Christ and the love of the world.

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.
