Prayer delights God's ear; it melts His heart; and opens His hand. God cannot deny a praying soul.

Are there not millions of us who would rather go sleeping to hell; than sweating to heaven?

Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.

God's decree is the very pillar and basis on which the saint's perseverance depends. That decree ties the knot of adoption so fast, that neither sin, death, nor hell, can break it asunder.

Though we as Christians are like Christ, having the first fruits of the spirit, yet we are unlike him, having the remainders of the flesh.

When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favourites, and afterwards throw theminto prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God's call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed.God blots out His people's sins, but not their names.

A wicked man in prayer may lift up his hands, but he cannot lift up his face.
