No doubt a man may be saved, like the penitent thief, without having received the Lord's Supper. It is not a matter of absolute and indispensable necessity, like repentance, faith, and conversion. But it is impossible to say that any professing Christian is in a safe, healthy, or satisfactory condition of soul, who habitually refuses to obey Christ and attend the Lord's Table.

The doctrine of Christ crucified is the strength of a Minister. I, for one, would not be without it for all the world.

Sin rarely seems sin at first beginnings.

Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.

How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?

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

Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
