The key to understanding the Bible is Jesus Christ.

A crucified Savior will never be content to have a self-pleasing, self-indulging, worldly-minded people.

If we would be sanctified, our course is clear and plain—we must begin with Christ. We must go to him as sinners, with no plea but that of utter need, and cast our souls on him by faith, for peace and reconciliation with God.... If we would grow in holiness and become more sanctified, we must continually go on as we began, and be ever making fresh applications to Christ.

Lastly, we must be holy, because without holiness on earth - we will never be prepared to enjoy Heaven. ...I do not know what others may think - but to me it does seem clear that Heaven would be a miserable place to an unholy man. It cannot be otherwise. People may say in a vague way, that they "hope to go to Heaven, but they do not consider what they say. There must be a certain "fitness for the inheritance of the saints in light.

If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.

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

Who shall dare to talk of strength when David can fall?
