“To love to preach is one thing, to love those to whom we preach quite another.”

“When a man truly sees himself, he knows nobody can say anything about him that is too bad.”

“I dare say you are planning on a late repentance. You do not know what you are doing. You are planning without God. Repentance and faith are the gifts of God, and they are gifts that He often withholds, when they have been long offered in vain. I grant you true repentance is never too late, but I warn you at the same time, late repentance is seldom true. I grant you, one penitent thief was converted in his last hours, that no man might despair; But I warn you, only one was converted, that no man might presume. I grant you it is written, Jesus is ‘Able to save completely those who come to God through him’ (Hebrews 7:25). But I warn you, it is also written by the same Spirit, ‘Since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you’ (Proverbs 1:24-26).

Believe me, you will find it no easy matter to turn to God whenever you please.”

“The preacher must be a serious man; he must never give the impression that preaching is something light or superficial or trivial.”
