A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.
When a person’s tongue is extensively wrong, it is absurd, no less than unscriptural, to say that their heart is right.
Let us serve Him faithfully as our Master. Let us obey Him loyally as our King. Let us study His teachings as our Prophet. Let us work diligently after Him as our Example. Let us look anxiously for Him as our coming redeemer of body as well as soul. But above all let us prize Him as our Sacrifice, and rest our whole weight on His death as atonement for sin. Let His blood be more precious in our eyes every year we live. Whatever else we glory in about Christ, let us glory above all things in His cross.
The man who has nothing more than a kind of Sunday religion -- whose Christianity is like his Sunday clothes put on once a week, and then laid aside -- such a man cannot, of course, be expected to care about growth in grace.
To be Christian it will cost a man his love of ease.
Troublous times, departures from the faith, evil men waxing worse and worse, love waxing cold, are things distinctly predicted.
True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heaven, duty, doctrine, practice and experience.
The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.
I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.
There are very few errors and false doctrines of which the beginning may not be traced up to unsound views about the corruption of human nature. Wrong views of the disease will always bring with them wrong views of the remedy. Wrong views of the corruption of human nature will always carry with them wrong views of the grand antidote and cure of that corruption.
The love of the Bible will show itself in a believer's actions.
The best of men are men at best
Let us resolve to talk more to believers about the Bible when we meet them. Alas, the conversation of Christians, when they do meet, is often sadly unprofitable! How many frivolous, and trifling, and uncharitable things are said! Let us bring out the Bible more, and it will help to drive the devil away, and keep our hearts in tune. Oh, that we may all strive so to walk together in this evil world; that Jesus may often draw near, and go with us, as He went with the two disciples journeying to Emmaus!
If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?
The minister who keeps back hell from his people in his sermons is neither a faithful nor a charitable man.
The incorruptible things are all within the narrow gate. The peace of God which passed all understanding - the bright hope of good things to come - the sense of the Spirit dwelling in us - the consciousness that we are forgiven, safe, insured, provided for in time and eternity, whatever may happen - these are true gold, and lasting riches.
The true Christian delights to hear something about his Master. He likes those sermons best which are full of Christ.
If we would have good ministers, we must remember our Lord’s example, and pray for them. Their work is heavy. Their responsibility is enormous. Their strength is small. Let us see that we support them, and hold up their hands by our prayers.
Doubting does not prove that a man has no faith, but only that his faith is small. And even when our faith is small, the Lord is ready to help us.
Why is a believer patient? Because he looks for the coming of the Lord...He waits quietly for the King.
Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of 'the image of Christ' must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.
Millions of people profess and call themselves Christians, whom the Apostle Paul would not have called Christians at all.
People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.
We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.
