Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.

I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.

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

What you think now about the cross of Christ, I cannot tell; but I can wish you nothing better than this - that you may be able to say with the apostle Paul, before you die or meet the Lord, 'God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.'

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

Let it be a settled principle ...that men's salvation, if saved, is wholly of God; and that man's ruin, if lost, is wholly of himself.

A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.
