Christ never preached any funeral sermons.
Be humble, or you'll stumble.
God had no children too weak, but a great many too strong to make use of.
A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.
The Son of God passed by the mansions and went down in a manger that He might sympathize with the lowly.
If we do not commend the Gospel to people by our holy walk and conversation, we shall not win them to Christ. Some little act of kindness will perhaps do more to influence them than any number of long sermons.
