Trust Christ, but do not trust yourself

I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.

Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?

We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them.

Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.

In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing; but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.

All places are places of worship to a Christian.

The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.

Prayer is the autograph of the Holy Ghost upon the renewed heart.

To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.

Come boldly, 'O believer, for despite the whisperings of Satan and the doubtings of thine own heart, thou art greatly beloved.

Never lose heart in the power of the gospel.

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word 'Whosoever' is a very wide and comprehensive one...My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.
