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.

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

It is not always those who have the most eminent gifts who are the most successful laborers for God. It is generally those who keep up closest communion with Christ and are most constant in prayer.

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.

The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.

True Christian is not an angel; he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.

What is the cause of most backslidings? I believe, as a general rule, one of the chief causes is neglect of private prayer.
