“Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.”

Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

The Lord Jesus is “a friend who never changes.” There is no fickleness about Him: those whom He loves, He loves to the end.

Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.

To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.

HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.

Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.

The only way to be really happy in such a world as this, is to be ever casting all our cares on God.

Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

I maintain that to tell a person they are born again, while they are living in carelessness or sin, is a dangerous delusion.

I try to just pay attention to what I’m feeling. If something is scary to me, then that’s sometimes a good sign – although, sometimes it’s not.

What we have, what we wish we had – ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost – these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.

There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life… I think I must have been crying for some attention.

I’m not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.

The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.

Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it.
