A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.

Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ's followers get from the world.

Let us learn to be patient in the days of darkness, if we know anything of vital union with Christ.

The brightest saint is the man who has the most heart-searching sense of his own sinfulness, and the liveliest sense of his own complete acceptance in Christ.

A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

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.
