Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
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.
Whatever you love most, that is your god.
God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.
We can mention only one point (which experience confirms), namely, that next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. No greater commendation than this can be found — at least not by us. After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music, namely, by proclaiming [the Word of God] through music.
Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.
The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.
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.
If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day. I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.
By faith we began, by hope we continue, and by revelation we shall obtain the whole.
Of whom shall I be afraid? One with God is a majority.
If the earth is fit for laughter then surely heaven is filled with it. Heaven is the birthplace of laughter.
I did nothing. The Word did it all.

The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.
Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
Before every great opportunity God gave me a great trial.
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Whoever does not know God hidden in suffering does not know God at all.
They gave our Master a crown of thorns, why do we hope for a crown of roses?
Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.
In a word, the Holy Scripture is the highest and best of books, abounding in comfort under all afflictions and trials. It teaches us to see, to feel, to grasp, and to comprehend faith, hope, and charity, far otherwise than mere human reason can; and while evil oppresses us, it teaches how these virtues throw light upon the darkness, and how, after this poor, miserable existence of ours on earth, there is another and an eternal life.
