The beginning of the way to heaven, is to feel that we are on the way to hell.
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.
Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen.
We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.
Christ's death is the Christian's life. Christ's cross is the Christian's title to heaven. Christ "lifted up" and put to shame on Calvary is the ladder by which Christians "enter into the holiest," and are at length landed in glory.
Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.
Churches may decay and perish; riches may make themselves wings and fly away-but he who builds their happiness on Christ crucified and union with Him by faith, that person is standing on a foundation which shall never be moved, and will know something of true peace.
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.
We may love money without having it, just as we may have money without loving it.
There is but one fountain of comfort for a man drawing near to his end, and that is the Bible. ...All comfort from any other source is a house built upon sand.
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.
The resurrection of Christ is one of the foundation stones of Christianity. It was the seal of the great work that He came on earth to do. It was the crowning proof that the ransom He paid for sinners was accepted, the atonement for sin accomplished, the head of him who had the power of death bruised, and the victory won.
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.
I declare I know no state of soul more dangerous than to imagine we are born again and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, because we have picked up a few religious feelings.
Health is a good thing; but sickness is far better, if it leads us to God.
Any well-read man knows that the moral difference between the condition of the world before Christianity was planted and since Christianity took root is the difference between night and day, the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the devil.
Beware of self-righteousness in every possible shape and form. Some people get as much harm from their "virtues" as others do from their sins.
Do something, by God’s help, to make heaven more full and hell more empty.
God has linked holiness and happiness; and what God has joined together we must not think to put asunder.
He that has trained his children for heaven, rather than for earth- for God rather than for man- he is the parent who will be called wise at the last.
The chief end for which He lived and died was to provide eternal redemption for mankind.
