Oh, how I wished that I had a tongue like thunder, that I might make all hear; or that I had a frame like iron, that I might visit everyone, and say, “Escape for thy life!”

Prayer
Turn the Bible into prayer.

Spiritual Warfare
A Christian’s peace is peculiar; it flows from Christ, it is heavenly, it is holy peace. His warfare is as peculiar: it is deep-seated, agonizing, and ceases not till death.

Justification
There is something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind to know that God has all the honor in our salvation, and we have none; to know that God’s honor is not violated, but on the contrary, shines more illustrious; to know that God’s law is not injured, but magnified and made honorable, to know that we are safe, and God has all the glory.
— Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Prayer
It is true friendship to teach one another to pray. It is a believing mother’s part to teach her little children to pray. But the Holy Spirit’s love is greater than this, he not only puts the words in our mouth, but he puts the desire in our heart.
— Robert Murray M’Cheyne
