Dear friends, whenever you want to understand a text of Scripture, try to read the original

There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.

Train your child in the way in which you know you should have gone yourself.

If I had a brother who had been murdered, what would you think of me if I...daily consorted with the assassin who drove the dagger into my brother's heart; surely I too must be an accomplice in the crime. Sin murdered Christ; will you be a friend to it? Sin pierced the heart of the Incarnate God; can you love it?

Christ is the great central fact in the world's history. To Him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon Him.

I am ashamed of some christians because they have so much dependence on Parliment and the law of the land. Much good may Parliment ever do to true religion except by mistake! As to getting the law of the land to touch our religion, we earnestly cry, `Hands off! Leave us alone.' Your Sunday bills and all other forms of the act-of-Parliment religion seem to me to be all wrong. Give us a fair field and no favor, and our faith has no cause to fear. Christ wants no help from Caesar.

Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow; joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.
