A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

Doubting does not prove that a man has no faith, but only that his faith is small. And even when our faith is small, the Lord is ready to help us.

What could an unsanctified man do in Heaven, if by any chance he got there? Let that question be fairly looked in the face and fairly answered. No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits and character.

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.

It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.

People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.

The first step towards attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin.
