“It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.”

To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.

HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.

Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.

The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.

Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

I maintain that to tell a person they are born again, while they are living in carelessness or sin, is a dangerous delusion.

Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.

No one ever said at the end of his days; ‘I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul’

The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.

There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

We have never heard the devil’s side of the story, God wrote all the book.

I’m looking for loopholes. (Said when caught reading the Bible.

God is identical with His attributes, so that it may be said that He is the knowledge, the knower, and the known.

Put out the good and keep the bad – don’t believe all you read in the Bible.

Nothing can be known either of God or man until God has become man in Jesus Christ.

The world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.

Jesus himself did not try to convert the two thieves on the cross; he waited until one of them turned to him.

The truth of the matter is that the whole world has already been turned upside down by the work of Jesus Christ.
