“Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.”

There are eternal consequences resulting from all our thoughts, words and actions, of which we take far too little account.

If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.

The fear of punishment, the desire of reward, the sense of duty, are all useful arguments, in their way, to persuade people to holiness. But they are all weak and powerless, until a person loves Christ.

God does not look at riches, titles, education, or beauty. There is only one thing that God does look at, and that is the soul.

Our prayers may be weak, stammering, and poor in our eyes. But if they come from a right heart, God understands them. Such prayers are His delight.

Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity; it is the very unity of hell.

Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct.

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven – the crucified Son of God.

We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.

The Word of God is ROCK. All else is sand.

The world’s idea of greatness is to rule, but Christian greatness consists in serving.

Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.

Let us beware of repentance without evidence.

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

You lose power to the people and circumstances you judge. They capture your attention in the same way that a movie does.

The circumstances that surround a man’s life are not important. How that man responds to those circumstances IS IMPORTANT. His response is the ultimate determining factor between success and failure.

Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with the courage of a hero and the smile of a conqueror.

It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influence upon us.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.
