“So few grow, because so few study.”

God has two thrones, on in the highest heavens, the other in the lowliest heart.

If our circumstances find us in God, we shall find God in all our circumstances.

I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world.

My friends, if we are going to do a great work for God, we must spend much time in prayer; we have got to be closeted with God.

God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.

Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.

I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.

Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don’t want to be heavenly-minded while they live.

Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.

If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.

Character is what a man is in the dark.

The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it.

I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ’s funeral sermons, but I couldn’t find any. I found He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn’t exist where He was.

Whitewashing the pump won’t make the water pure.

God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He’s even put a ‘No Fishing’ sign over the spot.

You are not downgrading. Your slate is being cleaned for the next scene.

If you’re growing, trust me, you’re still young.

Tears – they water the soil of your soul, they sink in deep and help your spirit to grow.

Hope knows that if great trials are avoided great deeds remain undone and the possibility of growth into greatness of soul is aborted.

If we don’t empower women, we don’t allow them to unlock the potential of themselves and their children.

Make generosity part of your growth strategy.

You have to accept that sometimes that’s how things happen in this world. People’s opinions, their feelings, they go one way, then the other. It just so happens you grew up at a certain point in this process.

Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.
