The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

Do not flatter yourselves: if you go to places of worship merely to look about you or to hear music, you are not worshipping God.

Love for God is obedience; love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.

He will be the best Christian who has Christ for his Master, and truly follows Him. Some are disciples of the church, others are disciples of the minister, and a third sort are disciples of their own thoughts; he is the wise man who sits at Jesus' feet and learns of Him, with the resolve to follow His teaching and imitate His example. He who tries to learn of Jesus Himself, taking the very words from the Lord's own lips, binding himself to believe whatsoever the Lord hath taught and to do whatsoever He hath commanded-he I say, is the stable Christian.

Obedience is the highest practical courage.

Idleness is the key of beggary.

You need not to know much about Heaven-it is where Christ is, and that is Heaven enough for us.
