Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.

The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.

If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.

If any man will preach as he should preach, his work will take more out of him than any other labor under heaven.
