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!

We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.

Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.

When a person’s tongue is extensively wrong, it is absurd, no less than unscriptural, to say that their heart is right.

When you cannot answer a skeptic, be content to wait for more light; but never forsake a great principle.

The chief end for which He lived and died was to provide eternal redemption for mankind.

Let us resolve to talk more to believers about the Bible when we meet them. Alas, the conversation of Christians, when they do meet, is often sadly unprofitable! How many frivolous, and trifling, and uncharitable things are said! Let us bring out the Bible more, and it will help to drive the devil away, and keep our hearts in tune. Oh, that we may all strive so to walk together in this evil world; that Jesus may often draw near, and go with us, as He went with the two disciples journeying to Emmaus!
