We shall not adjust our Bible to the age; but before we have done with it, by God's grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
An All-Round Ministry: Addresses to Ministers and Students (London: Passmore)Bible, Scripture0An All-Round Ministry: Addresses to Ministers and Students (London: Passmore)
To pursue union at the expense of truth is treason to the Lord Jesus.
Truth0Hard words, if they be true, are better than soft words, if they be false.
63 Volume Sermon Set - 1940.34Preaching063 Volume Sermon Set - 1940.34
We must not talk to our congregations as if we were half asleep. Our preaching must not be articulate snoring. There must be power, life, energy, vigour. We must throw our whole selves into it, and show that the zeal of God's house has eaten us up.

Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.
Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers Chapter 2Sin0Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers Chapter 2
Indeed there is no little sin because there is no little God to sin against.
A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500Sin0A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500
Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.
Faith, Hope, Love0I saw the other day in an Italian grotto a little fern, which grew where its leaves continually glistened and danced in the spray of a fountain. It was always green, and neither summer's drought nor winter's cold affected it. So let us for ever abide under the sweet influence of Jesus' love.
Lectures to my StudentsGod's Love, Abiding in Christ0Lectures to my Students
We encourage our members to leave us to found other Churches; nay, we seek to persuade them to do it. We ask them to scatter through—out the land to become the goodly seed, which God shall bless. I believe that so long as we do this we shall prosper.
Church Planting0Repentance is a discovery of the evil of sin, a mourning that we have committed it, a resolution to forsake it. It is, in fact, a change of mind of a very deep and practical character, which makes the man love what once he hated, and hate what once he loved.
Repentance0As to mental maladies, is any man altogether sane? Are we not all a little off the balance?
Lectures to my StudentsMental Health0Lectures to my Students
If we never have headaches through rebuking our children, we shall have plenty of heartaches when they grow up.
Child Training0I say again, that detailed obedience is the surest evidence that the Lord has forgiven your sin.
Obedience, Commandments, Assurance0That is why the unregenerate person cannot understand the urgency of the gospel message: until they see the depth of their sin and the holiness of God, they find no reason to seek remedy for their condition.
Sin0When I turn to the map of the world I must say the same thing. It matters not what quarter I examine: I find men's hearts are everywhere the same, and everywhere wicked. Sin is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
Old Paths, Ch 7Sin0Old Paths, Ch 7
Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hangs upon the cross! This is the greatest sight you will ever see.
All of Grace (48)Gospel, Jesus0All of Grace (48)
Surely no rebel can expect the King to pardon his treason while he remains in open revolt. No one can be so foolish as to imagine that the Judge of all the earth will put away our sins if we refuse to put them away ourselves.
All of Grace (116)Repentance0All of Grace (116)
Hell has many gates, though heaven has just one.
Heaven, Hell0You can never part with sin soon enough; it is a cursed inmate, that will surely bring mischief upon the soul that harbours it. It will set its own dwelling on fire.
Works 7:147Sin0Works 7:147
Guilt and pain are gifts of God to warn us that the pleasures of sin are suicidal. Though they may feel good in the moment.
SermonNov122000Sin0SermonNov122000
That very church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors.
Church, Worldliness0The death of God's Son is a greater proof to God's abhorrence of sin than if all humanity had been damned for it forever.
Sin0At the heart of all sin is a lie. The lie says to all of us in our sin, "The act you are now doing, the desire or attitude you are now feeling is not very bad because there are much worse things, not very bad because everyone else experiences the same things, not very bad because you can't help it, not very bad because there is no God, or, if that won't work, God knows you are but frail and weak and he will tolerate and pity your sin." There are a thousand distortions of the truth which sin brings with it into the human heart, so that Jeremiah cries out, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?" (17:9).
Sin0When my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence and promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken.
Future Grace (335)Sin0Future Grace (335)
Young men, to you I would honestly say that I would be ashamed to speak of a religion that would make you soft, cowardly, effeminate, spiritless, so that you would be mere simpletons in business, having no souls of your own, the prey of every designing knave.
