"The word of God must be like a fire in our bones, otherwise, if we undertake the ministry, we shall be unhappy in it"
"Preaching should not be a lecture about the Scripture, but Scripture itself opened up and enforced"
"We should have faith if we are to be useful, and that we should have great faith if we are to be greatly useful"

"If people do not have any understanding, we cannot give it to them; but God can."
"Deliver his Master’s message just as his Master gives it to him."
"Could God not, if he pleased, convert men without our preaching?"
"We must not hesitate to point out to sinners the state of ruin to which sin has brought them."
"There is nothing in the gospel of which we have any cause to be ashamed."
"The preacher must never mix up anything else with the gospel."
"Whatever the free Spirit moves us to do, that let us do at once."
