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

If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.

Fervency in prayer by the power of the Holy Spirit is a good preservative against thoughts rushing in. Flies never settle on the boiling pot.

This lost world will never be reached and brought back to loyalty to God, until the children of God wake up to the fact that they have a mission in the world. If we are true Christians we should all be missionaries.

Spread out your petition before God, and then say, “Thy will, not mine, be done.” The sweetest lesson I have learned in God’s school is to let the Lord choose for me.

Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.

The fact is, we are leaky vessels, and we have to keep right under the fountain all the time to keep full of Christ, and so have fresh supply.

Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live. The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.

In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

He who kneels the most, stands the best.

Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.

Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in it.

I believe many a man is praying to God to fill him, when he is full already with something else. Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.

Those who say they will forgive but can’t forget, simply bury the hatchet but leave the handle out for immediate use.

To be tempted is not to sin. The strongest attacks are made on the strongest forts.

They talked so, with secret hearts, without needing words, talking of other things. They could have suddenly continued their confessions aloud, without ceasing to understand each other.

I confess, I do have to remind myself almost daily that there are people on this earth capable of reading, writing, eating and dressing themselves who believe their lives are ruled from billions of miles away, by the stars – and, of course, the planets.

I will confess I am a great wingman. Since I have a girlfriend, I’ll start the night with her, but then I’ll help out the guys by making them sound like the most incredible guys in the world.

The universe holds infinite layers of secrets, so that you can ask questions while you bow with humble confessions. That you are young and you do not know.

I used to be scared of pretty girls, until one confessed they’re just as scared of me.

Stay cool, hang loose, admit nothing.

I strip. In low light. In the silence of my room. I strip like an act of confession. Unclothing my meticulous mind and teasing language from the vestry of my soul.

Let us cleave to Christ more closely, love Him more heartily, live to Him more thoroughly, copy Him more exactly, confess Him more boldly, and follow Him more fully.
