Let no preacher in a little church think that he has no audience for his message. An unseen audience of multitudes compass him about! Let no Christian who sins in the dark think that he is unobserved. He is compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses! Assuredly in Heaven they know what goes on on earth.
John R. RiceNo one can be a good Christian who does not with holy zeal set out to know, delight in, and live by the Word of God!
John R. RiceAfter one is right with God and pleases God, the next most important thing in all the world is to be right with one's own father and mother.
John R. RiceWhat kind of Christian are you? Did you ever lose a job, or lose a night's sleep, or lose a friend for God? If your Christianity never costs you a dollar, never cost you a friend, never cost any tears or broken heart, then can you really say that you love the Lord very much? To be a really good Christian is going to cost you.
