The gospel is a gospel of giving and forgiving.

You must keep all earthy treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.

My brethren, let me say, be like Christ at all times. Imitate him in "public." Most of us live in some sort of public capacity-many of us are called to work before our fellow-men every day. We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examined-taken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselves-so that we can say, "It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me."

Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.

Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.

We cannot rely on ourselves, for we have learned by bitter experience the folly of self-confidence. We are compelled to look to the Lord alone. Blessed is the wind that drives the ship into the harbor. Blessed is the distress that forces us to rest in our God.

Only he is fit to preach who cannot avoid preaching, who feels that woe is upon him unless he preach the gospel
