We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.

To forsake sin, is to leave it without any thought reserved of returning to it again.

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

It is one thing to know a truth, and another thing to know it by unction.

Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's... But how does the great apostle spend his time in prison?... We read of no dispatches sent to court to procure his liberty; but many to the churches, to help them to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free... The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

Praying is the same to the new creature as crying is to the natural. The child is not learned by art or example to cry, but instructed by nature; it comes into the world crying. Praying is not a lesson got by forms and rules of art, but flowing from principles of new life itself.
