Loving Preeminence in the Church
Nothing is quite so bitterly humorous as ambition in the church of Christ. It would be as though a man who was on a lifeboat being saved from certain salty death in the ocean depths should become ambitious to become captain of the little boat on its way to save those on board.
The Inevitability of Worship
There is an irresistible tendency in us to glory in something or other.
More Love to Thee, O Christ
The more a true saint loves God with a gracious love, the more he desires to love Him, and the more uneasy is he at his want of love to Him; the more he hates sin, the more he desires to hate it, and laments that he has so much remaining love to it; the more he mourns for sin, the more he longs to mourn for sin; the more his heart is broke, the more he desires it should be broke: the more he thirsts and longs after God and holiness, the more he longs to long, and breathe out his very soul in longings after God.

The Taming of the Tongue
When a person’s tongue is extensively wrong, it is absurd, no less than unscriptural, to say that their heart is right.
The Will of God
The will of God is no harsh, unfeeling fate but is rather to be thought of as His loving concern for His frail and needy people.
