“God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.”

Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.

They gave our Master a crown of thorns, why do we hope for a crown of roses?

Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

For what God gives I thank indeed; What He withholds I do not need.

Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.

People go through three conversions: The conversion of their head, their heart, and their pocketbook. Unfortunately, not all at the same time.

Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.

I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word, till soul and body sever. For though all things pass away, His Word shall stand forever.

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.

The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.

Pray, and let God worry.

If you see yourself as a “little sinner” you will inevitably see Jesus as a “little savior”.

I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!

All of a Christian’s life is one of repentance.

One thing I gained in my life is just the need for more Jesus in my life. You never come to a place in your walk with Jesus where you feel like you’ve had enough. That’s a dangerous feeling to have.

Just because I don’t understand god’s plans does not mean that he is not with me.

Don’t ever make the mistake of telling God that you have nothing to offer. That simply is not true. God does not create any junk.

God gave them [the discoveries] to me; how can I sell them to someone else?

I am the fiery life of the essence of God; I am the flame above the beauty in the fields; I shine in the waters; I burn in the sun, the moon, and the stars. And with the airy wind, I quicken all things vitally by an unseen, all-sustaining life.

The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.

A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.

Receive, Lord, all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will.
