When you think of what you are, and despair; think also of what He is, and take heart.

Pray for the Preaching You Will Hear This Weekend
Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God’s Word. From such folly deliver us, O Lord.
The Joy of Preaching
It is always sweet preaching for me when I feel that I come forth in the name of my Master — when I do not come to tell you what ideas I have woven out of my own brain, nor to put attractive figures before you, as I would like to do sometimes — but rather, when I come to tell you just what my Lord would have you know, telling it as a message to you from your God and cherishing in my own heart His great love toward perishing sinners. Then, indeed, to minister is joy!
The Well-Beloved on the Cross
Look to the cross and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well-Beloved to the tree.

Unprayable Prayers
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
Prayer, an Evidence of God’s Presence (or Absence)
If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.
The Church’s Business
It is the whole business of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.
Slandering Christ from the Pulpit
I do believe we slander Christ when we think that we are to draw people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.

The Difficulty of Precious Patience
Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.

Much Grace, Much Glory
One thing is past all question: we shall bring our Lord most glory if we get from Him much grace.
