Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

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

If the Bible is not the Word of God and inspired, the whole of Christendom for 1800 years has been under an immense delusion; half the human race has been cheated and deceived, and churches are monuments of folly. If the Bible is the Word of God and inspired, all who refuse to believe it are in fearful danger; they are living on the brink of eternal misery. No man, in his sober senses, can fail to see that the whole subject demands most serious attention.

Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel.

What could an unsanctified man do in Heaven, if by any chance he got there? Let that question be fairly looked in the face and fairly answered. No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits and character.

God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
