The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.

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

Election is always to sanctification. Where there is no visible fruit of sanctification, we may be sure there is no election.

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

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.
