Doubts about the fundamentals of the gospel exist in certain churches, I am told, to a large extent. My dear friends, where there is a warm-hearted church, you do not hear of them. I never saw a fly light on a red-hot plate.

Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.

Love to Jesus is the basis of all true piety, and the intensity of this love will ever be the measure of our zeal for His glory. Let us love Him with all our hearts, and then diligent labor, and consistent living will be sure to follow.

He casts our sins behind His back, He blots them out; He says that though they be sought for, they shall not be found.

But no thoughtful man's life is uninteresting or devoid of marvels. A sincere life cannot be empty of memorable occurrences.

Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

The practical effect of Christianity is happiness, therefore let it be spread abroad everywhere!
