Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.

But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.

Let us remember, there is One who daily records all we do for Him, and sees more beauty in His servants' work than His servants do themselves... And then shall His faithful witnesses discover, to their wonder and surprise, that there never was a word spoken on their Master's behalf, which does not receive a reward.

Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.

Follow Christ for His own sake, if you follow Him at all.
