Do you want to lead, or do you want to be liked?

The Christian will be sure to make enemies. It will be one of his objects to make none; but if doing what is right and believing what is true should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will regard it as a small loss, since his great Friend in heaven will be even more friendly and will reveal Himself to him more graciously than ever.

Withhold no part of the precious truth, but speak what you know and declare what you have seen. Do not allow the toil or darkness or possible unbelief of your friends to dissuade you. Let us rise and march to the place of duty, and there declare what great things God has shown to our soul.

The providence of God does not relieve us of our human responsibility: it doesn't call for inactivity, it calls for activity.

Gods law has been written on all of our consciences, but only in Christ is it written on our hearts.

Father, look upon us in Your goodness and kindness, we pray as a church. Help us to love each other.

Unless the Bible is first taught to our own hearts, then we have no basis from which to teach it to others at all.
