Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.
Laughter, ridicule, opposition and persecution are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.
Christ’s death is the Christian’s life. Christ’s cross is the Christian’s title to heaven. Christ “lifted up” and put to shame on Calvary is the ladder by which Christians “enter into the holiest,” and are at length landed in glory.
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer’s actions.
Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.
Children are very quick observers; very quick in seeing through some kinds of hypocrisy, very quick in finding out what you really think and feel, very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions. You will often discover that, as the father is, so is the son.
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.
Whatever others around you think, don’t you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
Let us beware of repentance without evidence.
The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower. Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, the Word of God.
The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.
Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.
Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well; they understand that it condemns their own behavior; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
