The sovereignty of God is that golden sceptre in his hand by which he will make all bow, either by his word or by his works, by his mercies or by his judgements.

Hope can see heaven through the thickest clouds.

Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.

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

When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.

Christ is a most precious commodity, he is better than rubies or the most costly pearls; and we must part with our old gold, with our shining gold, our old sins, our most shining sins, or we must perish forever. Christ is to be sought and bought with any pains, at any price; we can not buy this gold too dear. He is a jewel more worth than a thousand worlds, as all know who have him. Get him, and get all; miss him and miss all.

The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.
