God's hearing of our prayers doth not depend upon sanctification, but upon Christ's intercession; not upon what we are in ourselves, but what' we are in the Lord Jesus; both our persons and our prayers are acceptable in the beloved [Eph 1.6].

We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much.

Better to bear than to swear, and to die than to lie.

The first step toward heaven, is to see ourselves near hell.

The greatest and the hottest fires that ever were on earth are but ice in comparison to the fire of hell.

Look, as a painted man is no man, and as painted fire is no fire, so a cold prayer is no prayer.

A preacher's life should be a commentary upon his doctrine... Heavenly doctrines should always be adorned with a heavenly life.
