The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.

Follow Christ for His own sake, if you follow Him at all.

Men fall in private long before they fall in public.

Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.

The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.

Let us resolve by God's grace, that however poor and feeble our prayers may seem to be, we will pray on.
