“Unless we deny our own will, we shall never do God’s will.”

“[Concerning the Word preached:] Do we prize it in our judgments? Do we receive in into our hearts? Do we fear the loss of the Word preached more than the loss of peace and trade? Is it the removal of the ark that troubles us? Again, do we attend to the Word with reverential devotion? When the judge is giving the charge on the bench, all attend. When the Word is preached, the great God is giving us his charge. Do we listen to it as to a matter of life and death? This is a good sign that we love the Word.”

“Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.”

“Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use”

“It is our work to cast care, and it is God's work to take care.”

“Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.”

“God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.”
