Never forget that the end of a sermon is the salvation of the people.

A dark hour makes Jesus bright.

I know well that when Christ is nearest, Satan also is busiest.

The nearer you take anything to the light, the darker its spots will appear; and the nearer you live to God, the more you will see your own utter vileness.

Do not fear the face of man. Remember how small their anger will appear in eternity.

Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely . . . . Live much in the smiles of God. Bask in his beams. Feel his all-seeing eye settled on you in love. And repose in his almighty arms.

Watch against lip religion. Above all abide in Christ and he will abide in you.
