I am disturbed when I see the majority of so-called Christians having such little understanding of the real nature of the faith they profess. Faith is a subject of such importance that we should not ignore it because of the distractions or the hectic pace of our lives.

Surely the experience of all good men confirms the proposition that without a due measure of private devotions the soul will grow lean.

Can you tell a plain man the road to heaven? Certainly, turn at once to the right, and then go straight forward.

No man has a right to be idle. Where is it that in such a world as this, that health, and leisure, and affluence may not find some ignorance to instruct, some wrong to redress, some want to supply, some misery to alleviate?

Life as we know it, with all its ups and downs, will soon be over. We all will give an accounting to God of how we have lived.

If you love someone who is ruining his or her life because of faulty thinking, and you don't do anything about it because you are afraid of what others might think, it would seem that rather than being loving, you are in fact being heartless.

Of all things, guard against neglecting God in the secret place of prayer.
