If your creed and Scripture do not agree, cut your creed to pieces, but make it agree with this book.

It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company; they would not have laid the keel yet; and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.

The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

He who climbs above the cares of this world, and turns his face to his God, has found the sunny side of life.

You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.

Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.
