There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

Sicknesses, losses, crosses, anxieties and disappointments seem absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritual-minde d. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine and the refiner’s furnace to the gold.

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

Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.

Let us strive, every year we live, to become more deeply acquainted with Scripture.

The best of men are men at best

The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
