Seek to be made holier every day; pray, strive, wrestle for the spirit, to make you like God. Be as much you can with God. I declare to you that I had rather be one hour with God than a thousand with the sweetest society on earth or in Heaven. All other joys are but streams; God is the fountain.

God will either give you what you ask, or something far better.

The Christian is a person who makes it easy for others to believe in God.

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.

Are we not all immortal till our work is done?

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

Joy is increased by spreading it to others.
