It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.

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.

I maintain that to tell a person they are born again, while they are living in carelessness or sin, is a dangerous delusion.

Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.

The Christian who keeps his heart diligently in little things shall be kept from great falls.

Necessity is laid upon us. We must fight. There are no promises in the Lord Jesus Christ's epistles to the seven churches, except to those who 'overcome.' Where there is grace, there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight.

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