The true Christian does not need to be reminded that he has a crucified Master. He often thinks of Him.
Oh, dear friend, if you love your children, I charge you, do not let the early impression of a habit of prayer slip by. If you train your children to do anything, train them, at least, to have a habit of prayer.
Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

A right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.
The very sermon that we needlessly miss, may contain a precious word in season for our souls.
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
Instruction, and advice, and commands will profit little, unless they are backed up by the pattern of your own life. Your children will never believe you are in earnest, and really wish them to obey you, so long as your actions contradict your counsel... Think not your children will practise what they do not see you do. You are their model picture, and they will copy what you are... will seldom learn habits which they see you despise, or walk in paths in which you do not walk yourself.

Meekness is one of the brightest graces which can adorn the Christian character.
Let us remember, there is One who daily records all we do for Him, and sees more beauty in His servants' work than His servants do themselves... And then shall His faithful witnesses discover, to their wonder and surprise, that there never was a word spoken on their Master's behalf, which does not receive a reward.
The standard of the world, and the standard of the Lord Jesus, are indeed widely different. They are more than different. They are flatly contradictory one to the other.
If I never spoke of hell, I should think I had kept back something that was profitable, and should look on myself as an accomplice of the devil.
Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.
