You can recollect the sayings of great men, you treasure up verse of renowned poets; ought you not be equally profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty or overthrow a doubt?

If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!

Between here and heaven, every minute that the Christian lives will be a minute of grace.

A prayer less soul is a Christ less soul.

As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.
