A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.

Is not the gospel its own sign and wonder? Is not this a miracle of miracles, that 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish'? Surely that precious word, 'Whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely' and that solemn promise, 'Him that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out,' are better than signs and wonders! A truthful Saviour ought to be believed. He is truth itself. Why will you ask proof of the veracity of One who cannot lie?

["All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant."] The original Hebrew word that has been translated "paths" means "well-worn roads' or "wheel tracks," such ruts as wagons make when they go down our green roads in wet weather and sink in up to the axles. God's ways are at times like heavy wagon tracks that cut deep into our souls, yet all of them are merciful.

If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.

Holy service in constant fellowship with God is heaven below

Inconsistent professing Christians injure the Gospel more than the sneering critic or the heretic.

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