There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.
By affliction Christ shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, and makes us long for heaven.
I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don’t feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
