“There is more of power to sanctify, elevate, strengthen, and cheer in the word Jesus than in all the utterances of man since the world began.”

“Its very essence is trust upon Him and His sin-expiating and life-purchasing merits. Its very essence consists in its self-emptying, self-denying, Christ-grasping energy.”

“The Spirit never makes men the instruments of converting others until they feel that they cannot do it themselves; that their skill in argument, in persuasion, in management, avails nothing.”

“The doctrines of grace humble man without degrading him and exalt him without inflating him.”
