One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.
We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.
Let us resolve by God’s grace that, however feeble and poor our prayers may seem to us, we will pray on.
The love of Christ towards His people is a deep well which has no bottom.
True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heaven, duty, doctrine, practice and experience.
Tomorrow is the devil’s day, but today is God’s. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.
The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.
True Christianity is not merely believing a certain set of dry abstract propositions: it is to live in daily personal communication with an actual living person – Jesus Christ.
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
It was the whole Trinity, which at the beginning of creation said, “Let us make man”. It was the whole Trinity again, which at the beginning of the Gospel seemed to say, “Let us save man”.
The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion – whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside – such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
Never be satisfied with the world’s standard of Christianity!
Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.
Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is “clever” and “earnest,” hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully “narrow and uncharitable” if you hint that he is unsound!
Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
We never know who they are that God will draw, and have nothing to do with it. Our duty is to invite all, and leave it to God to choose the vessels of mercy.
Troublous times, departures from the faith, evil men waxing worse and worse, love waxing cold, are things distinctly predicted.
