Do not begin to teach others until the Lord has taught you.

The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day.

There is an essential difference between the decease of the godly and the death of the ungodly. Death comes to the ungodly man as a penal infliction, but to the righteous as a summons to his Father's palace. To the sinner it is an execution, to the saint an undressing from his sins and infirmities. Death to the wicked is the King of terrors. Death to the saint is the end of terrors, the commencement of glory.

Christian, beware of thinking lightly of sin. Take heed in case you fall little by little.

I had rather be poor in His service than rich in my own.

Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.

We shall not long have love to man if we do not first and chiefly cultivate love to God.
