When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.

Say not that thou hast royal blood in thy veins; say not that thou art born of God if thou canst not prove thy pedigree by daring to be holy!

The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.

Least doers are the greatest boasters.

Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.

Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.
