The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.

Job's friends chose the right time to visit him, but took not the right course of improving their visit; had they spent the time in praying for him which they did in hot disputes with him, they would have profited him, and pleased God more.

When people do not mind what God speaks to them in His word, God doth as little mind what they say to Him in prayer.

The Word of God is too sacred a thing, and preaching too solemn a work, to be toyed and played with.

As the eye of the body once put out, can never be restored by the creature's art, so neither can the spiritual eye lost by Adam's sin be restored by the teaching of men or angels. It is one of the diseases which Christ came to cure.

As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.

Can Christ be in thou heart and thou not know it? Can one king be dethroned and another crowned in thy soul and thou hear no scuffle?
