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.

Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.

That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.

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.

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.

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