“If our circumstances find us in God, we shall find God in all our circumstances.”

Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don’t want to be heavenly-minded while they live.

Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.

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.

It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influence upon us.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.

God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments.

Don’t let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.

God speaks in the language you know best – not through your ears, but through your circumstances.

In all this world there is no substitute for personal integrity. It includes honor. It includes performance. It includes keeping one’s word. It includes doing what is right regardless of the circumstances
