I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.

Value all books in proportion as they are agreeable to Scripture. Those that are nearest to it are the best, and those that are farthest from it, and most contrary to it, the worst.

A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

If anyone feels his sins, let him come at once, straight, direct, not merely to church, or to the sacrament, or to repentance, or to prayer, but to Christ Himself.
