Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.

We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it

If God calls you to be a minister, don't stoop to becoming a king.

God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in him he is altogether well pleased with us.

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.

I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.
