We should take heed of pride; it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
It is better to take time to consider before than to find time to repent after.
God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
Our duty as Christians is always to keep heaven in our eye and earth under our feet.
It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.
