If you and sin are friends, you and God are not yet reconciled.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

We are evidently no friends of Satan. Like the kings of this world, he wars not against his own subjects. The very fact that he assaults us should fill our minds with hope.

Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.

All converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.

Without holiness on earth we shall never be prepared to enjoy heaven. Heaven is a holy place. The Lord of heaven is a holy Being. The angels are holy creatures. Holiness is written on everything in heaven... How shall we ever be at home and happy in heaven if we die unholy?

The early Christians made it a part of their religion to look for His return. Backward they looked to the cross and the atonement for sin, and rejoiced in Christ crucified. Upward they looked to Christ at the right hand of God, and rejoiced in Christ interceding. Forward they looked to the promised return of their Master, and rejoiced in the thought that they would see Him again. And we ought to do the same.
