“Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.”

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.

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

He who kneels the most, stands the best.

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.

Many a professing Christian is a stumbling-block because his worship is divided. On Sunday he worships God; on weekdays God has little or no place in his thoughts.

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

God doesn’t seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
