Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.

Such true worship will stand the test of Christ's great principle, “By their fruits you shall know them”. It sanctifies the Christian's life, and makes them walk with God, lifting them above fear and love of the world. It enables a Christian to show God to other folks. Such worship comes from heaven, and has the mark of God upon it.

If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.

We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.

God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.

The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.
