I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.

Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.

Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.

Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.

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.

Let us watch against PRIDE in every shapepride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride in our own goodness.

There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning.

Image
Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.

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.

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.

Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.

Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?
