“We do not become righteous by doing righteous deed but, having been made righteous, we do righteous deeds.”

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.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

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.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen

Many shining actions owe their success to chance, though the general or statesman receive the applause.

Action is more generally understood than words.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

I still like the run and gun action movies and how truly dangerous it can be to make these films.

I believe everybody’s an individual. You can’t judge someone based on someone else’s actions.

Strong reasons make strong actions.

The more you are motivated by Love, The more Fearless & Free your action will be.
