If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.

You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.

Be deaf, be blind, be dead to gossip, and it will grow disgusted with you and select a more sensitive victim.

By perseverance the snail reached the ark. A mouse may find a hole, be the room ever so full of cats.

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

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.
