It is the mark of a hypocrite to be a Christian everywhere except at home.

Most of God's people are contented to be saved from the hell that is without; they are not so anxious to be saved from the hell that is within.

There is nothing a natural man hates more than prayer.

Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this, for your sermons last but an hour or two, your life preaches all the week. If Satan can only make a covetous minister a lover of praise, of pleasure, of good eating, he has ruined your ministry. Give yourselves to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God.

Study your prayers, a great part of my time is spent getting in tune for prayer.

Go on, dear brother; but an inch of time remains, and then eternal ages roll on for ever--but an inch on which we can stand and preach the way of salvation to a perishing world.

Remember also, the present is your only time to be saved. There is no believing, no repenting, no conversion in the grave---no minister will speak to you there. This is the time of conversion.
