There are some things that can be learned by the head, but Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart

Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.

The angels did not merely sin and lose heaven, but they passed beyond all other beings in sin and made themselves fit denizens for hell.

If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.

Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!

He who looks sinward has his back to God-he who looks Godward has his back to sin.

Earnestness is good; it means business. But fanaticism overdoes, and is consequently reactionary.
