The more I read, the less I admire modern theology. the more I study the productions of the new schools of theological teachers, the more I marvel that men and women can be satisfied with such writings. There is a vagueness, a mistiness, a shallowness, an indistinctness, a superficiality, an aimlessness, a hollowness about the literature of the 'broader and kinder systems', as they are called, which to my mind stamps their origin on their face. They are of the earth, earthy.

Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.

Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.

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?

We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.

Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors.
