Oh, dear friend, if you love your children, I charge you, do not let the early impression of a habit of prayer slip by. If you train your children to do anything, train them, at least, to have a habit of prayer.

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

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.

A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.

Death is a solemn event for everyone. It is the winding up of all earthly plans and expectations. It is a separation from all we have loved and lived with. It is often accompanied by much bodily pain and distress. It opens the door to judgement and eternity - to heaven or to hell. It is an event after which there is no change, or space for repentance.

‎"A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern." ~ J.C. Ryle

And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit's presence when the Word is really precious to a man 's soul.
