“The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.”

You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.

If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.

Fervency in prayer by the power of the Holy Spirit is a good preservative against thoughts rushing in. Flies never settle on the boiling pot.

This lost world will never be reached and brought back to loyalty to God, until the children of God wake up to the fact that they have a mission in the world. If we are true Christians we should all be missionaries.

Spread out your petition before God, and then say, “Thy will, not mine, be done.” The sweetest lesson I have learned in God’s school is to let the Lord choose for me.

Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

The fact is, we are leaky vessels, and we have to keep right under the fountain all the time to keep full of Christ, and so have fresh supply.

Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live. The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.

In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

He who kneels the most, stands the best.

Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.

Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in it.

I believe many a man is praying to God to fill him, when he is full already with something else. Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.

Those who say they will forgive but can’t forget, simply bury the hatchet but leave the handle out for immediate use.

Death I believe has many forms. It is a shapeshifter. But amongst all the forms it has, love is my favorite.

If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.

I believe that our memories are part of one great memory, the memory of Nature herself.

That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy.

It is the mark of an inexperienced man not to believe in luck.

You won’t believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better.

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.

The mystical life is the centre of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write. I have always considered myself a voice of what I believe to be a greater renaissance – the revolt of the soul against the intellect.
