Let us daily strive to copy our Savior's humility.
A trial is an instrument by which our Father in heaven makes Christians more holy.
And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit's presence when the Word is really precious to a man 's soul.
I fear it is sometimes forgotten that God has married together justification and sanctification. They are distinct and different things, beyond question, but one is never found without the other. All justified people are sanctified, and all sanctified people are justified. ... Tell me not of your justification, unless you have also some marks of sanctification. Boast not of Christ's work for you, unless you can show us the Spirit's work in you.
Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord's people.
There is more to be learned at the foot of the Cross than anywhere else in the world.
My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of people; and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth.

It was the whole Trinity, which at the beginning of creation said, "Let us make man". It was the whole Trinity again, which at the beginning of the Gospel seemed to say, "Let us save man".
I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.
Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps
The key to understanding the Bible is Jesus Christ.
Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.
Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.
Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.

The saddest symptom about many so-called Christians is the utter absence of anything like conflict and fight against spiritual apathy in their Christianity. They eat, they drink, they dress, they work, they amuse themselves, they get money, they spend money, they go through a brief round of formal religious services once or twice every week. But of the great spiritual warfare - its watchings and strugglings, its agonies and anxieties, its battles and contests - of all things they appear to know nothing at all. Let us take care that this case is not our own.
Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.
