Godliness consists in a harmony between holy principles and holy practices.

Christ is never sincerely loved, until sin is sincerely loathed!

He is a fool, who minds his recreation more than his salvation!

It is better to go with difficulty to Heaven, than with ease to Hell! “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able!” Luke 13:24

True happiness consists not in beauty, honor, riches (the world’s trinity)–but in the forgiveness of sin. “How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!” Psalm 32:1
