A minister, without boldness, is like a smooth file, a knife without an edge, a sentinel that is afraid to let off his gun. If men will be bold in sin, ministers must be bold to reprove.

Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.

All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.

The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him; yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
