“God’s work is not man working for God; it is God’s own work, though often wrought through man’s hands.”

There has never been a successful social movement for any minority without the support of the majority.

The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.

If the Lord is coming soon, is this not a very practical motive for greater missionary effort? I know of no other motive that has been so stimulating to myself.

I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.

Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.

God is not looking for men of great faith, He is looking for common men to trust His great faithfulness.

Let us never forget that what we are is more important than what we do.

Christ liveth in me. And how great the difference…instead of bondage, liberty; instead of failure, quiet victories within; instead of fear and weakness, a restful sense of sufficiency in Another.

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.

One difficulty follows another very fast – but God reigns, not chance.

Believing prayer will lead to whole-hearted action.

When I cannot read, when I cannot think, when I cannot even pray, I can trust.

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.

Devotion to God is still a voluntary thing; hence the differences of attainment among Christians.

There are three stages in the work of God: impossible, difficult,done.

Dream a dream so big that unless God intervenes it will fail.
