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.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.

Where no visible fruit can be found, there you may be sure is no conversion.
