Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
Fathers and mothers, do not forget that children learn more by the eye than they do by the ear... Imitation is a far stronger principle with children than memory. What they see has a much stronger effect on their minds than what they are told.
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.
There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation. We see Bibles in every bookstore - Bibles of every size, price and style. There are Bibles in almost every house in the land. But all this time I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
The Gospel which we possess was not given to us only to be admired, talked of, and professed - but to be practiced.
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
If you do not love Christ, let me tell you plainly what is the reason. You have no sense of debt to him.
Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ's followers get from the world.
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.
There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.
Walk more closely with God. Get nearer to Christ. Seek to exchange hope for assurance. Seek to feel the witness of the Spirit more closely and distinctly every year. Lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily threatens you. Press towards the mark more earnestly. Fight a better fight, and war a better warfare every year you live. Pray more. Read more. Subdue self more. Love the brethren more. Oh that you may endeavor to grow in grace every year, that the end of your Christian course may be better than the beginning!
The highest form of selfishness is that of the man who is content to go to heaven alone.
No one ever said at the end of his days; 'I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul'
The love of Christ towards His people is a deep well which has no bottom.
Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.
Tomorrow is the devil's day, but today is God's. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.
We have no reason to be discouraged and cast down if the religion we profess is not popular and few agree with us. We must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in this passage: ‘The gate is narrow’. Repentance, and faith in Christ, and holiness of life, have never been fashionable. The true flock of Christ has always been small. It must not move us to find that we are reckoned singular, and peculiar, and bigoted, and narrow minded. This is the ‘narrow way’. Surely it is better to enter into eternal life with a few, than to go to ‘destruction’ with a great company
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
