So long as you do not quarrel with sin, you will never be a truly happy man. - John Charles Ryle

A hopeful growing believer is a walking sermon. He preaches far more than I do, for he preaches all the week round, shaming the unconverted, sharpening the converted, showing to all what grace can do.

When does the building of the Spirit really begin to appear in a man's heart? It begins, so far as we can judge, when he first pours out his heart to God in prayer.

The heart is the part of man which God chiefly notices in religion.
