People will never set their faces decidedly towards heaven, and live like pilgrims, until they really feel that they are in danger of hell.

The cross is the foundation of the Bible: If you have not yet found out that Christ crucified is the foundation of the whole volume, you have hitherto read your Bible to very little profit. Your religion is a heaven without a sun, an arch without a keystone, a compass without a needle, a clock without a spring or weights, a lamp without oil. It will not comfort you; it will not deliver your soul from hell.

Follow Christ for His own sake, if you follow Him at all.

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.

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

O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.

Before Christ comes it is useless to expect to see a perfect Church.
