christian spring blood
I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer's blood.
believe heart men
Never lose heart in the power of the gospel. Do not believe that there exists any man, much less any race of men, for whom the gospel is not fitted.
believe men voice
When we believe that God hears us, it is but natural that we should be eager to hear Him. Only from Him can come the word which can speak peace to troubled spirits; the voices of men are feeble in such a case, a plaster far too narrow for the sore; but God's voice is power, He speaks and it is done, and hence when we hear Him our distress is ended.
believe men thinking
I am persuaded that men think there is no God because they wish there were none. They find it hard to believe in God, and to go on in sin, so they try to get an easy conscience by denying his existence.
believe thinking people
I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
people giving grace
If you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead. If you remove grace out of the gospel, the gospel is gone. If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.
believe heart men
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man’s heart unless you first send the needle of the Law to make way for it.
believe people church
If the devil never roars, the Church will never sing! God is not doing much if the devil is not awake and busy. Depend upon it: a working Christ makes a raging devil! When you hear ill reports, cruel speeches, threats, taunts and the like, believe that the Lord is among His people and is working gloriously.
Patience! patience! You are always in a hurry, but God is not.
Right is right though all condemn, and wrong is wrong though all approve.
The more you read the Bible; and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
believe church world
I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is the knowledge of our own ignorance.
