“The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy God.”

I know not how to express better, what my sins appear to me to be, than by heaping infinite upon infinite, and multiplying infinite by infinite. When I look into my heart and take a view of my wickedness, it looks like an abyss infinitely deeper than hell.

By Christ’s purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit; the one pays our debt, and so satisfies; the other procures our title, and so merits. The satisfaction of Christ is to free us from misery; the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us.

Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.

Envy is a spirit of dissatisfaction or opposition to the prosperity or happiness of other people.

I’ve got the strangest build. It’s big in the hips, small in the waist and I’ve got these enormous … shoulders.

God will always do great things with people who are willing to be faithful in the small things.
