“Ye be proud contemners of the free grace of God offered to man in Christ Jesus. For with the Pelagians and Papists ye are become teachers of free will, and defenders of your own righteousness.”

When I think of those who have influenced my life the most, I think not of the great but of the good.

You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.

But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.

Lord, give me Scotland or I die!

I cannot praise the common superfluity which women now use in their apparel.

O Lord Eternal, move and govern my tongue to speak the truth.

Those who have arrived at any very eminent degree of excellence in the practice of an art or profession have commonly been actuated by a species of enthusiasm in their pursuit of it. They have kept one object in view amidst all the vicissitudes of time and torture.

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.

Study to practice in life that which the Lord commands, and then be you assured that you shall never hear nor read the same without fruit.

I will keep the ground that God has given me and perhaps in his grace, he will ignite me again. But ignite me or not, in his grace, in his power, I will hold the ground.

Let a thing here be noted, that the prophet of God sometimes may teach treason against kings, and yet neither he nor such as obey the word, spoken in the Lord’s name by him, offend God.

I sought neither preeminence, glory, nor riches; my honor was that Jesus Christ should reign.

One man with God is always a majority.

The Monstrous Regiment of Women.

Although I never lack the presence and plain image of my own wretched infirmity, yet seeing sin so manifestly abounds in all estates, I am compelled to thunder out the threatenings of God against the obstinate rebels.

In youth, in middle age, and now after many battles, I find nothing in me but corruption.

For he who has died has been freed from sin…14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.

Hung it on each side with curious organs of sense, given it airs and graces that cannot be described, and surrounded it with such a flowing shade of hair as sets all its beauties in the most agreeable light.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

The true guide of our conduct is no outward authority, but the voice of God, who comes down to dwell in our souls, who knows all our thoughts, to whom are owing all the truth we know, and all the good we do; for vice is voluntary, and virtue comes from the grace of the heavenly spirit within.

God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.

Every wind brings chaos and toxicity but it is upto me to transform with grace.

I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil.
