Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.

There is one subject in religion, about which you can never know too much. That subject is Jesus Christ the Lord.

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.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

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

A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.
