Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.

The minister who keeps back hell from his people in his sermons is neither a faithful nor a charitable man.

True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

For my own part, I believe that in dealing with skeptics, and unbelievers, and enemies of the Bible, Christians are too apt to stand only on the defensive. They are too often content with answering this or that little objection, or discussing this or that little difficulty, which is picked out of Scripture and thrown in their teeth. I believe we ought to act on the aggressive far more than we do, and to press home on the adversaries of [Biblical] inspiration the enormous difficulties of their own position.

Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.

A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
