Preach one thing — the wisdom of the cross.

You Don’t Need to Remind Friends What You Did for Them
The mark of Friendship is not that help will be given when the pinch comes but that, having been given, it makes no difference at all.

Search the Scriptures Daily
Search the scriptures, with a sincere intention to put in practice what you read. A desire to do the will of God is the only way to know it.

Prayer Is Evidence of God’s Work
The real and obvious test of a genuine move of God is the prevalence of a spirit of prayer.

Loving God Means Loving People
Loving God and loving people are not mutually exclusive. We are never forced to choose between the two. Calloused indifference toward the people of God is unmistakable evidence of disregard for God Himself. To love them is to love him.

Pastor, Your Sermons Shouldn’t Be Easy to Preach
The preacher must feel what he preaches. It must never be with him an easy thing to deliver a sermon.

Preach the Gospel to Yourself Daily
The most important daily habit we can possess is to remind ourselves of the Gospel.
Don’t Walk around Looking Like You Were Weaned on Sour Pickles
True religion was never meant to make [people] melancholy. On the contrary, it was intended to increase real joy and happiness among [people]. . . . The Christian who withdraws entirely from the society of his fellow men, and walks the earth with a face as melancholy as if he was always attending a funeral, does injury to the cause of the gospel. A cheerful, kindly spirit is a great recommendation to a believer. . . . A merry heart, and a readiness to take part in all innocent mirth, are gifts of inestimable value. They go far to soften prejudices, to take up stumbling-blocks out of the way, and to make way for Christ and the gospel.
