“For what God gives I thank indeed; What He withholds I do not need.”

Show me where a man spends his time & money, and I’ll show you his god.

The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the ‘doers of the word’ in faith and love, and not the ‘mere hearers,’ who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.

I simply taught, preached, wrote God’s Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc; but how few acknowledge these as God’s special gifts, much less give God thanks for them.

If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.

Ah, if I could only pray the way that dog looks at meat.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

When Satan tells me I am a sinner he comforts me immeasurably, since Christ died for sinners.

God is letting me shine, because I’ve got a good heart.

Whatever is not done by the permission of Allah will not happen, and what is not done for the sake of Allah will not benefit or remain.

Of Orson Welles: It’s like meeting God without dying.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.
