“Nothing perhaps affects man’s character more than the company he keeps”

Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.

Let us beware of repentance without evidence.

Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.

No time is so well spent in every day as that which we spend upon our knees.

Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.

Beware of letting small faults pass unnoticed under the idea it is a little one. There are no little things in training children; all are important. Little weeds need plucking up as much as any. Leave them alone and they will soon be great.

It must not content us to take our bodies to church if we leave our hearts at home.

The love of Christ towards His people is a deep well which has no bottom.

Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

The Lord Jesus is “a friend who never changes.” There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.

Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.

To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
