Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord'; without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!

Jesus hears us, and in His own good time will give an answer... He may sometimes keep us long waiting...but He will never send us empty away.

Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.

We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.

Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.

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