Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.

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.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

Many, I fear, would like glory, who have no wish for grace. They would [want to] have the wages, but not the work; the harvest, but not the labor; the reaping, but not the sowing; the reward, but not the battle. But it may not be.

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

The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.

Let it be a settled principle in our minds, in reading the Bible, that Christ is the central sun of the whole book. So long as we keep Him in view, we shall never greatly err in our search for spiritual knowledge. Once losing sight of Christ, we shall find the whole Bible dark and full of difficulty.
