“Believe me, dear friends, the words of God about the doom of sinners are very dreadful. Hence, there are some that try to pare them down, and cut the solemn meaning out of them; and then they say, ‘I could not rest comfortably if I believed the orthodox doctrine about the ruin of man.’ Most true, but what right have we to rest comfortably?”
“Beware of a misty religion! Beware of that which is without form, for it is sure to be void! Beware of that which is undefined and undefinable, because there is nothing solid in it!”
“Christ will not blot out your sins in the past, unless you are willing to be cured of the love of sin in the present, and the pursuit of sin in the future.”
“Depend upon it, the nearer we get back to the nakedness of worship, the nearer we get to its truth and purity; and it is because man has fallen, that as his body wants clothing, so he is always dressing up his religion.”
“Did not our Saviour say that ‘men ought always to pray, and not to faint’ and did He not imply, by that form of expression, that, if they did not pray, they would be sure to faint?”
