Examine your own hearts. Do you see there any habit or custom which you know is wrong in the sight of God? If you do, don't delay for a moment in attacking it. Resolve at once to lay it aside. Nothing darkens the eyes of the mind so much, and deadens the conscience so surely, as an allowed sin. It may be a little one, but it is not any less dangerous.
Pride comes from not knowing yourself and the world. The older you grow, and the more you see, the less reason you will find for being proud. Ignorance and inexperience are the pedestal of pride; once the pedestal is removed - pride will soon come down.
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.
Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity; it is the very unity of hell.
Do you wish to grow in grace and be a holy Christian? Then never forget the value of prayer.
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
The true Christian delights to read the Scriptures, because they tell him about his beloved Savior.
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
There are eternal consequences resulting from all our thoughts, words and actions, of which we take far too little account.
The saddest symptom about many so-called Christians is the utter absence of anything like conflict and fight against spiritual apathy in their Christianity. They eat, they drink, they dress, they work, they amuse themselves, they get money, they spend money, they go through a brief round of formal religious services once or twice every week. But of the great spiritual warfare - its watchings and strugglings, its agonies and anxieties, its battles and contests - of all things they appear to know nothing at all. Let us take care that this case is not our own.
Never be satisfied with the world's standard of Christianity!
There are no lessons so useful as those learned in the school of affliction.
Sin forsaken is one of the best evidences of sin forgiven.
O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.
If the Bible is not the Word of God and inspired, the whole of Christendom for 1800 years has been under an immense delusion; half the human race has been cheated and deceived, and churches are monuments of folly. If the Bible is the Word of God and inspired, all who refuse to believe it are in fearful danger; they are living on the brink of eternal misery. No man, in his sober senses, can fail to see that the whole subject demands most serious attention.
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.
Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct.
We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.
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.
Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
People fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.
I fear it is sometimes forgotten that God has married together justification and sanctification. They are distinct and different things, beyond question, but one is never found without the other. All justified people are sanctified, and all sanctified people are justified. ... Tell me not of your justification, unless you have also some marks of sanctification. Boast not of Christ's work for you, unless you can show us the Spirit's work in you.
