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.

That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.

I believe that very much of current Arminianism is simply ignorance of gospel doctrine; and if people began to study their Bibles, and to take the Word of God as they find it, they must inevitably, if believers, rise up to rejoice in the doctrines of grace.

Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.

A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.

I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.

Don't drown the man who taught you to swim. If you learned your trade or profession from the man, do not set up in opposition to him.
