There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.
According to the men of the world, few are going to hell; According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.
True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.
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.
The heart of a man can never be satisfied with the things of this world. It is always empty, and hungry, and thirsty, and dissatisfied, till it comes to Christ. It is only they who hear Christ's voice, and follow Him, and feed on Him by faith, who are 'filled.'.
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.
Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

No one ever said at the end of his days; 'I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul'
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.
Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
The world's idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.
Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.
There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation. We see Bibles in every bookstore - Bibles of every size, price and style. There are Bibles in almost every house in the land. But all this time I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.

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

To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation.
The Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed - but to be practiced.
