If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer. I must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me. I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend. I must be holy for His sake. How can I live in sin when He has died to save me from it?

It is said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves

Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.

Believe only half of the praise and half of the criticism.

Children will imitate their fathers in their vices, seldom in their repentance.

To trifle with Scripture is to deprive yourself of its aid. Reverence it, and look up to God with devout gratitude for having given it to you.
