“When we have accepted Jesus Christ, we have become akin to the Father; having become real children of God, we then have the spirit of sonship by which we can come into His presence and make known our wants in a familiar way.”

Men have presented their plans and philosophies for the remedying of earth’s ills, but Jesus stands alone in presenting not a system, but His own personality as capable of supplying the needs of the soul.

What we need now for quickening is not so much money and wisdom as the spirit of supplication. Pray for yourself until the new life is infused. When that new life comes, it will lead you to pray for others.

When we depend upon organizations, we get what organizations can do. But when we depend upon prayer, we get what God can do.

There is no kind of experience in which a Christian has a right to refuse to praise God, for ‘all things work together for good to them that love God.’

Give us a genuine Christianity that may provoke persecution, but will not provoke contempt.

In Jesus Christ on the Cross, there is refuge; there is safety; there is shelter; and all the power of sin upon our track cannot reach us when we have taken shelter under the Cross that atones for our sins.

Prayer is the key to success. Not to pray is to fail. To pray aright is never to fail.

He who obeys the command ‘Rejoice in the Lord’ has a Hallelujah in his soul every minute of the day and night.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship.

I can understand how evolution says, “don’t believe in God”, but I’ve never had this problem.

Mummy, I woke today and there was a Lincoln Log in me sock drawer! … That’s the story of Jesus.

The Lord’s Prayer is an excellent model, but it was never intended to be a magical incantation to get God’s attention. Jesus gave this prayer as a pattern to suggest the variety of elements that should be included when we pray.

Ah! believers, you are a tempted people. You are always poor and needy. And God intends it should be so, to give you constant errands to go to Jesus. Some may say, it is not good to be a believer; but ah! see to whom we can go.

The real game of Bigger and Better that Jesus is playing with us usually isn’t about money or possessions or even our hopes. It’s about our pride.

Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely . . . .

Just as chalk can be removed from a chalkboard, with sincere repentance, the effects of our transgression can be erased through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
