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.

There is one subject in religion, about which you can never know too much. That subject is Jesus Christ the Lord.

People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.

We must be holy, because this is the only sound evidence that we have a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.

It is easy to criticize and find fault with the conduct of kings, and write furious articles against them in newspapers, or make violent speeches about them on platforms. Any fool can rip and rend a costly garment, but not every man can cut out and make one. To expect perfection in kings, prime ministers, or rulers of any king, is senseless and unreasonable. We would exhibit more wisdom if we prayed for them more, and criticized less.

A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God
