Our murmuring is the devil's music.

It is our work to cast care, and it is God's work to take care.

There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.

If you don't genuinely like your customers, chances are they won't buy.

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

It is absurd to think that anything in us could have the least influence upon our election. Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us. Whereas God does not choose us FOR faith, but TO faith. "He hath chosen us, that we should be holy" (Eph. 1:4), not because we would be holy, but that we might be holy. We are elected to boldness, not for it.

Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting.
