Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.

The Lord Jesus is "a friend who never changes." There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.

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

What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.

Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.

If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
