My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of people; and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

The Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed - but to be practiced.

True Christianity is not merely believing a certain set of dry abstract propositions: it is to live in daily personal communication with an actual living person - Jesus Christ.

We ought to regard the sacrament of baptism with reverence. An ordinance of which the Lord Jesus Himself partook, is not to be lightly esteemed. An ordinance to which the great Head of the Church submitted, ought to be ever honorable in the eyes of professing Christians.

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

The surest mark of true conversion is humility.
