Let us watch against pride in every shape-pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness.
It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.
No one ever said at the end of his days; ‘I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul’
Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.
Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
Sin always seems ‘good, and pleasant, and desirable,’ at the time of commission.

Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
I believe it to be clear evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word of God is really precious to a person’s soul.
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.
The Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed – but to be practiced.
O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.
True Christians delight to read the Scriptures, because they tell them about their beloved Savior.
The very sermon that we needlessly miss, may contain a precious word in season for our souls.
A Christian is nothing more than a sinner who has found out their sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.
