“I thought when I became a Christian I had nothing to do but just to lay my oars in the bottom of the boat and float along. But I soon found that I would have to go against the current.”

Prayer is a serious thing. We may be taken at our words.

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

We ought to see the face of God every morning before we see the face of man.

The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.

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

A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine.

The Scriptures were not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.

Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.

When God gave Christ to this world, He gave the best He had, and He wants us to do the same.

God doesn’t expect the impossible from us. He wants us to expect the impossible from Him!

The voice of sin is loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.

I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord’s people were divided.

When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still, If a man has got the Word, he must speak or die.

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land tomorrow.

You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.

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.
