Every instance of obedience, from right motives, strengthens us spiritually, whilst every act of disobedience weakens us.

Christians do not practically remember that while we are saved by grace, altogether by grace, so that in the matter of salvation works are altogether excluded; yet that so far as the rewards of grace are concerned, in the world to come, there is an intimate connection between the life of the Christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of Christ's appearing.

Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.

Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.

The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials.

Be assured that Christianity is something more than forms and creeds and ceremonies: there is life, and power, and reality, in our holy faith.

As a warning to parents, I mention that my father preferred me to my brother, which was very injurious to both of us. To me, as tending to produce in my mind a feeling of self-elevation; and to my brother, by creating in him a dislike both towards my father and me.
