A tree may always be known by its fruit, and a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes & affections.

If we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lord’s example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

If you would train your children rightly, train them in the way they should go and not in the way they would.

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

Am I honest? Am I sincere? Do I really desire first the praise of God?

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
