Be very sure of this,-people never reject the Bible because they cannot understand it. They understand it only too well; they understand that it condemns their own behavior; they understand that it witnesses against their own sins, and summons them to judgment.

A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

If we would know whether our faith is genuine, we do well to ask ourselves how we are living.

Never be satisfied with the world's standard of Christianity!

What you think now about the cross of Christ, I cannot tell; but I can wish you nothing better than this - that you may be able to say with the apostle Paul, before you die or meet the Lord, 'God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.'

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
