The very sermon that we needlessly miss, may contain a precious word in season for our souls.

Just as the telescope and microscope show us that there is order and design in all the works of God's hand, from the greatest planet down to the least insect, so does the Bible teach us that there is wisdom, order, and design in all the events of our daily life. There is no such thing as 'chance', 'luck', or 'accident' in the Christian journey through this world.

That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.

True faith will always show itself by its fruits . . . I suspect that, with rare exceptions, men die just as they have lived.

Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.

Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.
