The least sin should humble the soul, but certainly the greatest sin should never discourage the soul, much less should it work the soul to despair. Despairing Judas perished, whereas the murderers of Christ, believing on Him, were saved.

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

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

There is the seed of all sins--of the vilest and worst of sins--in the best of men.

Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.

If any man should ask me what is the first, second, and third part of being a Christian, I must answer 'Action!'

There is no such way to attain to greater measures of grace, as for a man to live up to that little grace he has.
