“If I walk with the world, I can’t walk with God.”

I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world.

My friends, if we are going to do a great work for God, we must spend much time in prayer; we have got to be closeted with God.

God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.

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

I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.

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.

A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.

I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose.

Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

In the mornings, I use a good moisturiser and a colouring lip balm. In the evenings, though, I like to go a little glam.

Smile baby. You’re alive. You’ve got options.

To accept someone when everything is going right is easy. But when things are falling apart around you and you stick together, that’s the test of a relationship. Love is when we have every reason to break up but we do not.

I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it – if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.

Everyone has a story, and sometimes our egos choose to ignore that. Don’t take everything personally—it is usually not about you.
