If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.
Gospel riches are sent to remove our wretchedness, and mercy to remove our misery.
Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ . . . They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place.
In 40 years I have not spent 15 minutes without thinking of Jesus.
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.

Was it not most meet that a woman should first see the risen Saviour? She was first in the transgression; let her be first in the justification. In yon garden she was first to work our wo; let her in that other garden be the first to see Him who works our weal. She takes first the apple of that bitter tree which brings us all our sorrow; let her be the first to see the Mighty Gardener, who has planted a tree which brings forth fruit unto everlasting life.
Saints of the early church reaped great harvests in the field of prayer and found the mercy seat to be a mine of untold treasures.
Believe only half of the praise and half of the criticism.
If you were God’s children you would loathe the very thought of the world’s evil joys, and your question would not be, “How far may we be like the world?” but your one cry would be, “How far can we get away from the world? How much can we come out from it?
Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth; it is the heart of it.
If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
If Christ be anything, He must be everything.
The child of God works not for life, but from life; he does not work to be saved, but works because he is saved
Faith is a principle which hath its root deeper feeling. We believe, whether we see or not.
Like Jonah, you may lose your gourd, but you cannot lose your God.
If you love anything better than God you are idolaters: if there is anything you would not give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol, and conversion means a turning from every idol.
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
God will not be absent when His people are on trial; he will stand in court as their advocate, to plead on their behalf.
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Idleness is the key of beggary.
When you speak of heaven, let your face light up; let it be irradiated by a heavenly gleam; let your eyes shine with reflected glory. But when you speak of hell, your ordinary expression will do.
