True faith will always show itself by its fruits . . . I suspect that, with rare exceptions, men die just as they have lived.

O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.

Let us watch against pride in every shape - pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a person out of heaven, and prevent them from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God.

He that would be conformed to Christ's image, and become a Christ-like man, must be constantly studying Christ Himself.

Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.

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

Instruction, and advice, and commands will profit little, unless they are backed up by the pattern of your own life. Your children will never believe you are in earnest, and really wish them to obey you, so long as your actions contradict your counsel... Think not your children will practise what they do not see you do. You are their model picture, and they will copy what you are... will seldom learn habits which they see you despise, or walk in paths in which you do not walk yourself.
