If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.

Sin rarely seems sin at first beginnings.

When a person’s tongue is extensively wrong, it is absurd, no less than unscriptural, to say that their heart is right.

It may well be feared, that there is not enough Biblereading among us. It is not sufficient to have the Book. We must actually read it, and pray over it ourselves. It will do us no good, if it only lies still in our houses. We must be actually familiar with its contents, and have its texts stored in our memories and minds. Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive, wakeful reading.

If men come among you who do NOT preach all the counsel of God, who do NOT preach of Christ, sin, holiness, of ruin, redemption, and regeneration, and do NOT preach of these things in a Scriptural way, you ought to cease to hear them.

A Bible reading laity is a nation's surest defence against error.

Who shall dare to talk of strength when David can fall?
