Do you wish to grow in grace and be a holy Christian? Then never forget the value of prayer.

Amidst the flood of dangerous reading, I plead for my Master's book; I call upon you not to forget the book of the soul. Do not let newspapers, novels, and romances be read, while the prophets and Apostles be despised. Do not let the exciting and sensual swallow up your attention, while the edifying and the sanctifying can find no place in your mind.

Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel.

Wrong views about holiness are generally traceable to wrong views about human corruption.

Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.

There is one subject in religion, about which you can never know too much. That subject is Jesus Christ the Lord.

When a man’s heart is cold and unconcerned about religion – when his hands are never employed in doing God’s work – when his feet are not familiar with God’s ways – when his tongue is seldom or never used in prayer and praise – when his eyes are blind to the beauty of the kingdom of heaven – when his mind is full of the world, and has no room for spiritual things – when these marks are to be found in a man the word of the Bible is the right word to use about him, and that word is, ‘Dead.’
