Sunday morning, before we go to hear the Word of God preached...let us not rush into God’s presence careless, reckless, and unprepared, as if it mattered not in what way such work was done. Let us carry with us faith, reverence, and prayer. If these three are our companions, we will hear with profit, and return with praise.

Blessed are they who feel like pilgrims and strangers in this life, and whose best things are all to come!

People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.

Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins.

The cross is the foundation of the Bible: If you have not yet found out that Christ crucified is the foundation of the whole volume, you have hitherto read your Bible to very little profit. Your religion is a heaven without a sun, an arch without a keystone, a compass without a needle, a clock without a spring or weights, a lamp without oil. It will not comfort you; it will not deliver your soul from hell.

I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.

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