The best of men are men at best

The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

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

The true Christian regards all Christ's friends as his friends, members of the same body, children of the same family, soldiers in the same army, travelers to the same home. When he meets them, he feels as if he had long known them. He is more at home with them in a few minutes, than he is with many worldly people after an acquaintance of several years. And what is the secret of all this? It is simply affection to the same Savior and love to the same Lord.
