What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

A zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh and pray.

Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.

The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.

God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

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