“Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.”

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.

God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.

If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.

It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.

However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.

Let us seek friends that will stir up our prayers, our Bible reading, our use of time, and our salvation.

True Christianity is not merely believing a certain set of dry abstract propositions: it is to live in daily personal communication with an actual living person – Jesus Christ.

We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.

Faith in the Lord Jesus is the only sure medicine for troubled hearts.

Tomorrow is the devil’s day, but today is God’s. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.

And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word is really precious to a man ‘s soul.

Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.

Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.

There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
