A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

A trial is an instrument by which our Father in heaven makes Christians more holy.

If I never spoke of hell, I should think I had kept back something that was profitable, and should look on myself as an accomplice of the devil.

There is something sadly wrong when it is more important to us whether others are a part of our denomination, rather than whether they repent of sin, believe on Christ and live holy lives.

By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons, which without it we should never learn. By affliction He shows us our emptiness and weakness, draws us to the throne of grace, purifies our affections, weans us from the world, makes us long for heaven.

The true Christian delights to read the Scriptures, because they tell him about his beloved Savior.
