A man says to me, 'Can you explain the seven trumpets of the Revelation?' No, but I can blow one in your ear, and warn you to escape from the wrath to come.

Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.

No man is really saved unless he is in his heart obedient to Christ.

I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart.

It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.

Everything is a trifle to a man who is a Christian except the glorifying of Christ

Remember the man who truly repents is never satisfied with his own repentance.

What is it to bring the man out of his sepulchre if you leave him dead? Why lead him into the light if he is still blind? We thank God, that he who forgives our iniquities also heals our diseases.

All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.
