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

How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?

Set a strong guard about thy outward senses: these are Satan's landing places, especially the eye and the ear.

The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.

We are justified, not by giving anything to God,--what we do,--but by receiving from God, what Christ hath done for us.

The Christian, like a chalice without a base, cannot stand on his own nor hold what he has received any longer that God holds him in His strong hands.

God loves the saints as the purchase of his Son's blood. They cost him dear, and that which is so hardly got shall not be easily lost. He that was willing to expend his Son's blood to gain them, will not deny his power to keep them.
