A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.

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.

People are backsliders on their knees long before they backslide openly in the eyes of the world.

There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation. We see Bibles in every bookstore - Bibles of every size, price and style.

Let us watch against pride in every shape - pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a person out of heaven, and prevent them from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God.
