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

If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.

Character is what a man is in the dark.

The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.

So few grow, because so few study.

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it.

I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ’s funeral sermons, but I couldn’t find any. I found He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn’t exist where He was.

Whitewashing the pump won’t make the water pure.

God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He’s even put a ‘No Fishing’ sign over the spot.

More depends on my walk than talk.

Faith makes all things possible, love makes all things easy.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

I have never met a man who has given me as much trouble as myself.

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

I’d rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.

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.

We need to make sure our activities and our attitudes line up with what pleases God first and foremost. Wherever we focus our attention the most will become the driving force in our lives.

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

Like the earth we need peace to heal ourselves.

Anybody who believes that the earth is less than 10,000 years old needs psychiatric help.

Faith supplies staying power. Anyone can keep going when the going is good, but some extra ingredient is needed to keep you fighting when it seems that everything is against you.

Every person you meet will hold the same lesson for you, until you learn what is needed for your growth.

There is a big confusion in this country over what we want verses what we need you need food. You want a chocolate sundae.

What if love has always been the quench and the fire? or perhaps all we need to lose to find all we need to have?
