“To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.”

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.

The fear of punishment, the desire of reward, the sense of duty, are all useful arguments, in their way, to persuade people to holiness. But they are all weak and powerless, until a person loves Christ.

God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.

If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself.

God has two thrones, on in the highest heavens, the other in the lowliest heart.

The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.
