I THINK the moments we are nearest to heaven are those we spend at the Lord’s table.
In heaven we shall see that we had not one trial too many.
When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.
Show the world that your God is worth ten thousand worlds to you. Show rich men how rich you are in your poverty when the Lord God is your helper. Show the strong man how strong you are in your weakness when underneath you are the everlasting arms.
They will never accept grace until they tremble before a just and holy Law.
A religion that cannot stand a little laughter must be a very rotten one.
There is no form of sinfulness to which you are addicted which Christ cannot remove.
May your character not be a writing upon the sand, but an inscription upon the rock!
O man, I beseech you do not treat God’s promises as if they were curiosities for a museum; but use them as every day sources of comfort. Trust the Lord whenever your time of need comes on.
Faith is a principle which hath its root deeper than feelings. We believe, whether we see or not. We believe, whether we feel or not.
Our motto is, “With God, anywhere: without God, nowhere.”
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man’s heart unless you first send the needle of the Law to make way for it.
I know nothing which can so comfort the soul; so calm the swelling billows of sorrow and grief; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.
Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world.
The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day.
I do not think the devil cares how many churches you build, if only you have lukewarm preachers and people in them.
The right way usually lies between two extremes: it is the narrow channel between the rock and the whirlpool.
Those who think themselves secure are more exposed to danger than any others. The armor-bearer of sin is self-confidence .
He who does not serve God where he is would not serve God anywhere else.
If you get condemnation out of the Gospel, you put the condemnation into it yourselves! It is not the Gospel, but your rejection of it that will condemn you.
