Abide in Me says Jesus. Cling to Me. Stick fast to Me. Live the life of close and intimate communion with Me. Get nearer to Me. Roll every burden on Me. Cast your whole weight on Me. Never let go your hold on Me for a moment. Be, as it were, rooted and planted in Me. Do this and I will never fail you. I will ever abide in you.

Sin always seems 'good, and pleasant, and desirable,' at the time of commission.

For my own part, I believe that in dealing with skeptics, and unbelievers, and enemies of the Bible, Christians are too apt to stand only on the defensive. They are too often content with answering this or that little objection, or discussing this or that little difficulty, which is picked out of Scripture and thrown in their teeth. I believe we ought to act on the aggressive far more than we do, and to press home on the adversaries of [Biblical] inspiration the enormous difficulties of their own position.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.

The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.

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

Beware of self-righteousness in every possible shape and form. Some people get as much harm from their "virtues" as others do from their sins.
