Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.

The godly have some good in them, therefore the devil afflicts them; and some evil in them, therefore God afflicts them.

Knowledge is the eye which must direct the foot of obedience.

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.

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.

Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.
