Half our fears arise from neglect of the Bible.
Let eloquence be flung to the dogs rather than souls be lost. What we want is to win souls. They are not won by flowery speeches.
Inconsistent professing Christians injure the Gospel more than the sneering critic or the heretic.
The grace that does not change my life will not save my soul.
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit’s aid than he can create a world.
