Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.

I must honestly declare my conviction that, since the days of the Reformation, there never has been so much profession of religion without practice, so much talking about God without walking with Him, so much hearing God's words without doing them.

Let it be a settled principle in our minds, in reading the Bible, that Christ is the central sun of the whole book. So long as we keep Him in view, we shall never greatly err in our search for spiritual knowledge. Once losing sight of Christ, we shall find the whole Bible dark and full of difficulty.

It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.

People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.

The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.

If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
