A man may commit sin and yet be ignorant of it, and fancy himself innocent when he is guilty... We shall do well to remember that when we make our own miserably imperfect knowledge and consciousness the measure of our sinfulness, we are on very dangerous ground.

We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.

God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.

Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.

Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.

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

The Bible applied to the heart by the Holy Ghost is the chief means by which men are built up and established in the faith, after their conversion. It is able to cleanse them, to sanctify them, to instruct them in righteousness, and to furnish them thoroughly for all good works.
