As we lay hold upon the truth of God, its influence must affect us. It must elevate us. It must remove from us every imperfection.

God's people are peculiar. Their spirit cannot mingle with the spirit and influence of the world. You do not wish to bear the Christian name and yet be unworthy of it.

God's eye does not slumber. He knows every sin that is hidden from mortal eye.

The sin which is indulged to the greatest extent, which separates us from God and produces so many spiritual disorders, and which are contagious, is selfishness.

God requires his people to shine as lights in the world. It is not merely the ministers who are required to do this, but every disciple of Christ. Their conversation should be heavenly.

Those who use tobacco, tea and coffee should lay these idols aside, and put their cost into the treasury of the Lord.
