The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower. Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, the Word of God.

The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

The love of our Lord Jesus Christ towards sinners is strikingly shown in His steady purpose of heart to die for them.

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?

Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.
