Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.

Children are very quick observers; very quick in seeing through some kinds of hypocrisy, very quick in finding out what you really think and feel, very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions. You will often discover that, as the father is, so is the son.

The true cure for self-righteousness is self-knowledge.

The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.

If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.

We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.

True Christian is not an angel; he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.
