Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of 'the image of Christ' must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.

Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition.

There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences; but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.

The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.

Never be satisfied with the world's standard of Christianity!

The brightest saint is the man who has the most heart-searching sense of his own sinfulness, and the liveliest sense of his own complete acceptance in Christ.

It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
