Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and you have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by His heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.

We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.

We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.

Indeed all the saints are taught the same lesson - to renounce their own strength, and rely on the power of God; their own policy, and cast themselves on the wisdom of God; their own righteousness, and expect all from the pure mercy of God in Christ, which act of faith is so pleasing to God, that such a soul shall never be ashamed.

Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.

Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.
