“If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.”

It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.

Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.

O Christian, look up and take comfort. Jesus has prepared a place for you, and those who follow Him shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of His hands.

Since Satan can’t destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.

According to the men of the world, few are going to hell; According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.

Why is a believer patient? Because he looks for the coming of the Lord…He waits quietly for the King.

Just as the first sign of life in an infant when born into the world is the act of breathing, so the first act of men and women when they are born again is praying.

Nothing perhaps affects man’s character more than the company he keeps

Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.

We are the novel I keep reading.

Let me fall like Niagara Falls into your arms, in your presence I feel no storm just calm.

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.

God bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her, and guide her, Through the night, with the light from above, From the mountains, to the prairies To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, my home sweet home, God bless America! My Home Sweet Home!

Women love an honest man.

It is the nature of love to love as much as we feel we are loved and to love whatever the one we love loves.

There is an essential connection between experiencing God, loving God, and trusting God. You will trust God only as much as you love him. And you will love him to the extent you have touched him, rather that he has touched you.

For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.
