The true cure for self-righteousness is self-knowledge.

Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.

The temple in which the Lord Jesus delights most, is a broken and contrite heart, renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

Let us resolve to talk more to believers about the Bible when we meet them. Alas, the conversation of Christians, when they do meet, is often sadly unprofitable! How many frivolous, and trifling, and uncharitable things are said! Let us bring out the Bible more, and it will help to drive the devil away, and keep our hearts in tune. Oh, that we may all strive so to walk together in this evil world; that Jesus may often draw near, and go with us, as He went with the two disciples journeying to Emmaus!

Churches may decay and perish; riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
