The Devil has seldom done a cleverer thing that hinting to the Church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them. Providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the Church. The need is biblical doctrine, so understood and felt that is sets men afire.

Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree. Look up to the cross, and you will kill sin, for the strength of Jesus' love will make you strong to put down your tendencies to sin.

Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.

There is a sweet joy that comes to us through sorrow.

Losses and crosses are heavy to bear; but when our hearts are right with God, it is wonderful how easy the yoke becomes.

The worst sort of clever men are those who know better than the Bible.

Remember the goodness of God in the frost of adversity.
