But if there is one thing clearly and plainly laid down about election, it is this: that elect men and women may be known and distinguished by holy lives.

Prayer is the very life-breath of true Christianity.

If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.

We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.

God knew what we were before conversion - wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved us. He knows what we will be after conversion - weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves us.

We must be holy, because this is the only sound evidence that we have a saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Without holiness on earth we shall never be prepared to enjoy heaven. Heaven is a holy place. The Lord of heaven is a holy Being. The angels are holy creatures. Holiness is written on everything in heaven... How shall we ever be at home and happy in heaven if we die unholy?
