My prayer today is that God would make me an extraordinary Christian.

If you know Christ and him crucified, you know enough to make you happy, supposing you know nothing else. And without this, all your other knowledge cannot keep you from being everlastingly miserable.

Be humble, talk little, think and pray much.

Had I a hundred hands, I could employ them all. The harvest is very great. I am ashamed I can do no more for him who has done so much for me.

Nothing is more generally known than the duties which belong to christianity; and yet, how amazing is it, nothing is less practised?

Take care of your life and the Lord will take care of your death.

Would ministers preach for eternity! They would then act the part of true Christian orators, and not only calmly and cooly inform the understanding, but, by persuasive, pathetic address, endeavour to move the affections and warm the heart.
