The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.

Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.

True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heaven, duty, doctrine, practice and experience.

There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.

Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

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.

A man may just as soon read the Scripture without eyes, as understand the spirit of it without grace.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone

Weak, feeble and foolish as it may seem to people, the simple story of the Cross is enough for all mankind in every part of the globe.

Naked we came upon earth, and naked we go forth, and of all our possessions, we can carry nothing with us.

When I speak of a man growing in grace, I mean simply this - that his sense of sin is becoming deeper, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, his love more extensive, his spiritual mindedness more marked.

If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?

Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.

Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.
