“Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.”

The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.

If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.

Sicknesses, losses, crosses, anxieties and disappointments seem absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritual-minde d. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine and the refiner’s furnace to the gold.

We know but little of true Christianity, if we don’t feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.

Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.

Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

Jesus hears us, and in His own good time will give an answer… He may sometimes keep us long waiting…but He will never send us empty away.

Spend less than you make; always be saving something. Put it into a tax-deferred account. Over time, it will begin to amount to something. This is such a no-brainer.

When we see others beginning to live their authentic selves, it drives us crazy if we have not lived out our own.

Meditation is acceptance. It is the acceptance of life within us, without us and all around us. Acceptance of life is the beginning of human satisfaction.
