If there is anything which a man ought to do thoroughly, authentically, truly, honestly, and with all of his heart, it is the business of his soul. If there is any work which he ought never to slight, and do in a careless fashion, it is the great work of "working out his own salvation" (Philippians 2:12). Believer in Christ, remember this! Whatever you do in religion, do it well. Be authentic. Be thorough. Be honest. Be true.

All the children of God on earth are alike in this respect. From the moment there is any life and reality about their religion, they pray.

nothing will ever allow them to find rest except submission to the old doctrines of man's ruin and Christ's redemption – and simple childlike faith in Jesus.

Inspiration, in short, is the very keel and foundation of Christianity. If Christians have no Divine book to turn to as the warrant of their doctrine and practice, they have no solid ground for present peace or hope, and no right to claim the attention of mankind. They are building on a quicksand, and their faith is vain. We ought to be able to say boldly, "We are what we are, and we do what we do, because we have here a book which we believe to be the Word of God".

Prayer is the peculiarity of all real Christians now. They pray, for they tell God their wants, their feelings, their desires, and their fears; and they mean what they say. The nominal Christian may repeat prayers, and good prayers too, but he goes no further.

The family of Abraham will no longer feel temptations, and the family of Job will not feel afflictions. The family of David will no longer mourn loss and death, the family of Paul will not feel thorns in the flesh, and the family of Lazarus will no longer be afflicted by poverty and sores.

Let us urge on every one who exhibits new interest in religion to be content with nothing short of the deep, solid, sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost.

Cristo jamais será o Salvador daqueles que não sabem o que é seguir o seu exemplo. A fé salvadora e a graça real da conversão sempre produzirão alguma conformidade com a imagem de Jesus (Cl 3.10).

The world we live in would have fallen upon our heads, had it not been upheld by the pillar of the cross; had Christ not stepped in and promised a satisfaction for the sin of man. By this all things consist – not a blessing we enjoy but may remind us of it; they were all forfeited by sin, but merited by His blood. If we study it well, we shall be sensible how God hated sin and loved a world." – Charnock.

The mere belief of the facts and doctrines of Christianity will never save our souls. Such belief is no better than the belief of devils. They all believe and know that Jesus is the Christ. They believe that He will one day judge the world and cast them down to endless torment in hell. It is a solemn and sorrowful thought that on these points some professing Christians have even less faith than the devil.

Prayer will consume sin — or sin will choke prayer.

Grace does not run in families. It needs something more than good examples and good advice to make us children of God.

Praying parents should pray night and day, that their children may be born of the Spirit.

Aquellos que el Espíritu atrae a Jesús son los que el Espíritu ha convencido de pecado. Sin una convicción total de pecado, el hombre puede acudir a Jesús y seguirle por un tiempo, pero pronto se apartará y volverá al mundo.

Justifying faith is a grace that does not work, but simply trusts, rests, and leans on Christ (Romans 4:5). Sanctifying faith is a grace of which the very life is action. It works by charity (Galatians 5:6), and like a driving force, it moves the whole inward man.

En resumen, donde no hay una santificación de la vida, no hay una fe verdadera en Cristo.
