“Let us expect that God is going to use us. Let us have courage and go forward, looking to God to do great things.”

When a man is not deeply convicted of sin, it is a pretty sure sign that he has not truly repented. Experience has taught me that men who have very slight conviction of sin sooner or later lapse back into their old life.

It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.

The measure of a man is not how many servants he has but how many men he serves .

A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.

The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.

Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.

The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord’s work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.

There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.

Prayer is a serious thing. We may be taken at our words.

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

We ought to see the face of God every morning before we see the face of man.

The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.

The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.

A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine.

The Scriptures were not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.

Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.

The conquest of fear yields the courage of life. That is the cardinal initiation of every heroic adventure– fearlessness and achievement.

To get to this place of a warrior’s courage, we must give up the stories that have ruled our lives and shatter the self-image we created to affirm our story.

It often requires more courage to suffer in silence than to rebel, more courage not to strike back than to retaliate, more courage to be silent than to speak.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

A part of me died on the battlefield and a part of me was born. Vulnerability shed like peeling skin. Trust from my core was torn. I was caught between a disassembled heart and a young and fearful mind. I made peace with these pieces as I fell apart with the courage that I made mine.

Truthfulness is composed of justice and courage.

Unfortunately, unless we’re focused on building up our courage, which gives us our self-confidence and all that we need to make quantum change in our lives, the voice of fear will always take the lead inside our minds.

Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources.
