I would think it a greater happiness to gain one soul to Christ than mountains of silver and gold to myself.

What peace can they have who are not at peace with God?

We have a cunning adversary, who watches to do mischief, and will promote errors, even by the words of scripture.

What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.

We read of preaching the Word out of season, but we do not read of praying out of season, for that is never out of season.

We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.

You may as soon find a living man who does not breathe, as a living Christian who does not pray.
