Nothing puts life into men like a dying Savior.
God notices every one of us; there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees.
Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.
The more holy a man becomes, the more conscious he is of unholiness.
You are saved – seek to be like your Savior.
Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?
This is the sum; my brethren, preach Christ, always and evermore. He is the whole gospel. His person, offices, and work must be our one great all-comprehending theme.
I would to God that saints would cling to Christ half as earnestly as sinners cling to the devil. If we were as willing to suffer for God as some are to suffer for their lusts, what perseverance and zeal would be seen on all sides!
Do not flatter yourselves: if you go to places of worship merely to look about you or to hear music, you are not worshipping God.
Oh, my brethren, bold-hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards.
Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation.
If we will only think, we shall begin to thank.
If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.
May gratitude to God permeate my entire life.
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
An unholy church! It is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hells laughter, heavens abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.
Grace puts its hand on the boasting mouth, and shuts it once for all.
Above all I commend the study of Christ. Let Him be your library.
Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair; but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace.
I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
