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

No one ever said at the end of his days; 'I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul'

In justification the word to be addressed to man is believe - only believe; in sanctification the word must be 'watch, pray, and fight.'

If we would be sanctified, our course is clear and plain—we must begin with Christ. We must go to him as sinners, with no plea but that of utter need, and cast our souls on him by faith, for peace and reconciliation with God.... If we would grow in holiness and become more sanctified, we must continually go on as we began, and be ever making fresh applications to Christ.

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.

A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.

The Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed - but to be practiced.
