“Excuses are the cradle that Satan rocks men off to sleep in.”

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.
