What They Said

"God, you know, is the fountain, ocean, and centre of all delights and joys; " In thy presence is fulness of joy," Psalm 16:11."

“What! At peace with the Father, and at war with His children?  It cannot be.”

"O be not quick to bury the Church before she is dead."

"All other graces like birds in the nest depend upon what faith brings to them."

"What health is to the heart, that holiness is to the soul."

"The Scriptures Teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying."

"Grace makes the promise and providence the payment."

"Remember, you represent the Lord of glory to the world; it is not your honour only, but the honour of Christ which is engaged, and concerned in your actions."

"Surely rest may be found in Christ, in any condition; he is able to give you peace in the midst of all your troubles here. So he tells you in John 16:33."

"The man in Christ is renewed in his practice and conversation; Now the regenerate not being what they were, cannot walk and act as once they did."

"Christ is a fruitful root, and makes all the branches that live in him so too."

"But no shore is so sweet to the weather-beaten passenger, as Christ is to a broken-hearted sinner: this brings the soul to a sweet repose."

“The keeping and right managing of the heart in every condition is the great business of a Christian's life!”

"The beauty of our conversation arises from the heavenly frame of our spirits."

"Keep your heart faithfully, and you will be prepared for any situation or service to which you may be called."

"God values no man by outward excellencies, but by inward graces; they are the internal ornaments of the Spirit, which are of great price in God's sight."

"Exercise holy trust in times of great distress.  Make it your business to trust God with your life and comforts, and then your heart will be at rest about them."

"Having composed your heart by previous meditations, immediately set a guard upon your senses.  How often are Christians in danger of losing the eyes of their mind by those of their body!"

“Believe it, brethren, it is easier to declaim, like an orator, against a thousand sins of others, than to mortify one sin, like Christians, in ourselves; to be more industrious in our pulpits, than in our closets; to preach twenty sermons o our people, than one to our own hearts.”
