“Pray like it all depends on God, then when you are done, go work like it all depends on you.”

A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.

He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own; and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.

The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.

God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.

Show me where a man spends his time & money, and I’ll show you his god.

The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the ‘doers of the word’ in faith and love, and not the ‘mere hearers,’ who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.

I simply taught, preached, wrote God’s Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc; but how few acknowledge these as God’s special gifts, much less give God thanks for them.

If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.

Ah, if I could only pray the way that dog looks at meat.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

If there is no God, everything is permitted.

You can be kept in perfect peace when your mind is fixed on God.

What are men? Mortal gods. What are gods? Immortal men.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don’t need another plaque.

Our prayers for others may or may not change them, but they always change us.

Know thyself, and thou shalt know God.

The laws of nature are written by the hand of God in the language of mathematics.

Let us go where the gods have shown us the way and the injustice of our enemies calls us.
