It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.

Health is a good thing; but sickness is far better, if it leads us to God.

Surely if there be any habit which your own hand and eye should help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.

In Christ alone God’s rich provision of salvation for sinners is treasured up: by Christ alone God’s abundant mercies come down from heaven to earth. Christ’s blood alone can cleanse us; Christ’s righteousness alone can cleanse us; Christ’s merit alone can give us a title to heaven. Jews and Gentiles, learned and unlearned, kings and poor men--all alike must either be saved by the Lord Jesus, or lost forever.

Solid scriptural theology should be valued in the church. Books in which Scripture is reverently regarded as the only rule of faith and practice-- books in which Christ and the Holy Ghost have their rightful office-- books in which justification, and sanctification, and regeneration, and faith, and grace, and holiness are clearly, distinctly, and accurately delineated and exhibited, these are the only books which do real good. Few things need reviving more than a taste for such books as these among readers.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

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.
