“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.”

A man is what he is on his knees, and no more.

It is the mark of a hypocrite to be a Christian everywhere except at home.

Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.

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

Remember also, the present is your only time to be saved. There is no believing, no repenting, no conversion in the grave—no minister will speak to you there. This is the time of conversion.

There is nothing a natural man hates more than prayer.

Everything I do is deeply rooted in my faith and especially in Jesus Christ.

People should not make me out to be like Jesus; I don’t walk on water.

Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

Obama’s not Jesus. He can’t walk on water.

Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me!

Basically, I wear sandals, like Jesus. When it gets cold in Chicago, the snow way up to my knees, I still wear my sandals. But that’s me.

The fact is that if Jesus’s future kingdom is secure, those who trust in its coming will enact it now.

You will be that inevitably–but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
