Call your opinions your creed, and you will change it every week.

Death is strong, but Life is stronger.

Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues.

The elements which determine the make of any particular sermon are three; the preacher, the material, and the audience; just as the character of any battle is determined by three elements; the gun (including the gunner), the ammunition, and the fortress against which the attack is made.

The faith which you keep must be a faith that demands obedience, and you can keep it only by obeying it.

Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.

Every sermon must have a solid rest in Scripture, and the pointedness which comes of a clear subject, and the conviction which belongs to well-thought argument, and the warmth that proceeds from earnest appeal.
