As secret worship is better the more secret it is, so public worship is better the more public it is.
— Matthew Henry
Godliness
We cannot learn fear of God and the basic principles of godliness, unless we are pierced by the sword of the Spirit and destroyed. It is as if God were saying that to rank among his sons our ordinary natures must be wiped out.
— John Calvin
The Love of God
O the height, the depth, the length and breadth of this love, that brought the King of glory from his throne, to die for such rebels as we are.
— George Whitefield (1714-1770)
A Christian Minister
A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own. He is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.
— William Carey (1761–1834)
Near to God
Be of good cheer, Christian, the time is near when God and you shall be as near as you can desire. You shall dwell in His family! You shall then have joy without sorrow — and rest without weariness!
— Richard Baxter (1615–1691)
