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

Any well-read man knows that the moral difference between the condition of the world before Christianity was planted and since Christianity took root is the difference between night and day, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the devil.

Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.

Beware of letting small faults pass unnoticed under the idea it is a little one. There are no little things in training children; all are important. Little weeds need plucking up as much as any. Leave them alone and they will soon be great.

Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.

Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.

The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
