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.

No doubt men may easily think too little of God the Father, and God the Spirit, but no man ever thought too much of Christ.

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.

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

However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.

Bibles read without prayer; sermons heard without prayer; marriages contracted without prayer; journeys undertaken without prayer; residences chosen without prayer; friendships formed without prayer; the daily act of prayer itself hurried over, or gone through without heart: these are the kind of downward steps by which many a Christian descends to a condition of spiritual palsy, or reaches the point where God allows them to have a tremendous fall.

Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.
