It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.
If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?
To me, Calvinism means the placing of the eternal God at the head of all things.
If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.
This day, my God, I hate sin not because it damns me, but because it has done Thee wrong. To have grieved my God is the worst grief to me.
Let this one great, gracious, glorious fact lie in your spirit until it permeates all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Rejoice that the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song - He has become your salvation.
On Christ, and what he has done, my soul hangs for time and eternity. And if your soul also hangs there, it will be saved as surely as mine shall be. And if you are lost trusting in Christ, I will be lost with you and will go to hell with you. I must do so, for I have nothing else to rely upon but the fact that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived, died, was buried, rose again, went to heaven, and still lives and pleads for sinners at the right hand of God.
The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
You are saved - seek to be like your Savior.
Brethren, who are we that God should have been so good to us?
Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.
Beloved Friends, we may well continue to praise God, for our God continues to give us causes for praise!
Those who think themselves secure are more exposed to danger than any others. The armor-bearer of sin is self-confidence .
All our perils are nothing, so long as we have prayer.
We want to assure you...that if you seek Him you will find Him. Jesus casts out none who come unto Him.
Affliction hardens those whom it does not soften.
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Now let us find solace in the finished work of our Lord Jesus. Everything is fully done: justice demands no more.
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.
Backsliders begin with dusty Bibles and end with filthy garments.
No man ever made himself to live. No preacher, however earnest, can make one hearer to live. No parent, however prayerful, no teacher, however tearful, can make a child live unto God. “You hath HE quickened,” is true of all who are quickened.
The child, in danger of the fire, just clings to the fireman, and trusts to him alone. She raises no question about the strength of his limbs to carry her, or the zeal of his heart to rescue her; but she clings. The heat is terrible, the smoke is blinding, but she clings; and her deliverer quickly bears her to safety. In the same childlike confidence cling to Jesus, who can and will bear you out of danger from the flames of sin.
You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.
If there is any verse that you would like left out of the Bible, that is the verse that ought to stick to you, like a blister, until you really attend to its teaching.
If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be a full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.
