It is one thing to have sin alarmed only by convictions, and another to have it crucified by converting grace. Many, because they have been troubled in conscience for their sins, think well of their case, miserably mistaking conviction for conversion.

There is no surer evidence of an unconverted state than to have the things of the world uppermost in our aim, love, and estimation.

I will watch over My flock by night (Isaiah 27:3). Behold, I have appointed My ministers as your watchmen, as overseers who watch for your souls (Hebrews 13:17; Acts 20:28)

Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down and erects a new structure. It is not the sewing on a patch of holiness; but, with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles and practice.

Converting grace puts God on the throne, and the world at His footstool; Christ in the heart, and the world under Hisfeet.

Come from your knees to the sermon, and come from the sermon to your knees

For a soul to come to Jesus, is the grandest event in its history.
