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

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.

A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord "went with them" and guided them into all truth.

Sin forsaken is one of the best evidences of sin forgiven.

Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just; a God who is all love, but not holy; a God who as a heaven for every body, but a hell for none; a God who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but will make no distinction between good and broad in eternity. Such a God is an idol of your own, as truly an idol as any snake or crocodile in an Egyptian temple. The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible, and beside the God of the Bible there is no God at all.

A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.
