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.

Let those be thy choicest companions who have made Christ their chief companion.

Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise.

Ah! sinner, remember this, there is no way on earth effectually to be rid of the guilt, filth, and power of sin, but by believing in a Saviour. It is not resolving, it is not complaining, it is not mourning, but believing, that will make thee divinely victorious over that body of sin that to this day is too strong for thee, and that will certainly be thy ruin, if it be not ruined by a hand of faith.

Saints spring and thrive most internally, when they are most externally afflicted. Afflictions are the mother of virtue.
