Prayers are heard in heaven in proportion to our faith. Little faith gets very great mercies, but great faith still greater.
The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.
Jesus has made the life of his people as eternal as his own.
The change is radical it gives us new natures, it makes us love what we hated and hate what we loved, it sets us in a new road; it makes our habits different, it makes our thoughts different, it makes us different in private, and different in public.
I looked at God and He looked at me, and we were one forever.

We say that Christ so died that He infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ’s death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved.
The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
There is no other salvation except that which begins and ends with grace.
Nothing but grace makes a man so humble and, at the same time, so glad.

When I have found intense pain relieved, a weary brain soothed, and calm refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar, I have felt grateful to God, and have blessed His name.
If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.
Life is short and we have scarcely begun to live when we are called to die.
We know so little about the future that to worry about it would be the height of foolishness.
If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.
