According to John Stott, Charles Simeon emphasized three things which he printed in capital letters in the preface to his works:

TO HUMBLE THE SINNER?
TO EXALT THE SAVIOR?
TO PROMOTE HOLINESS?
If in any one instance it loses sight of any of these points, let it be condemned without mercy. (source)
