A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone

Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel.

If Christ had not gone to the cross and suffered in our stead, the just for the unjust, there would not have been a spark of hope for us. There would have been a mighty gulf between ourselves and God, which no man ever could have passed.

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

All converted people should labor to adorn the doctrine they profess by humility. If they can do nothing else, they can strive to be humble.

Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.

Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.
