A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.

Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.

Sanctification is the outcome and inseparable consequence of regeneration. He who is born again and made a new creature receives a new nature and a new principle and always lives a new life.

If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.

Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.

Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord'; without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!

No doubt a man may be saved, like the penitent thief, without having received the Lord's Supper. It is not a matter of absolute and indispensable necessity, like repentance, faith, and conversion. But it is impossible to say that any professing Christian is in a safe, healthy, or satisfactory condition of soul, who habitually refuses to obey Christ and attend the Lord's Table.
