Nothing so hardens the heart of man as a barren familiarity with sacred things.

When a man’s heart is cold and unconcerned about religion – when his hands are never employed in doing God’s work – when his feet are not familiar with God’s ways – when his tongue is seldom or never used in prayer and praise – when his eyes are blind to the beauty of the kingdom of heaven – when his mind is full of the world, and has no room for spiritual things – when these marks are to be found in a man the word of the Bible is the right word to use about him, and that word is, ‘Dead.’

There is something sadly wrong when it is more important to us whether others are a part of our denomination, rather than whether they repent of sin, believe on Christ and live holy lives.

Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.

Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.

A true Christian is one who has not only peace of conscience, but war within. He may be known by his warfare as well as by his peace.

There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.
