A Christian in the world is one thing, and the world in a Christian is quite another thing. A ship in the water is all right, but when the water gets in the ship, it is quite a different thing.
The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.
Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor.
A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.
Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It's a way to live. The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.
'Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God' (Rom. 10:17). That is whence faith comes. It is not for me to sit down and wait for faith to come stealing over me with a strong sensation, but is for me to take God at His Word.
The fact is, we are leaky vessels, and we have to keep right under the fountain all the time to keep full of Christ, and so have fresh supply.
If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.
Careful for nothing, prayerful for everything, thankful for anything.

Whitewashing the pump won't make the water pure.
The best way to revive a church is to build a fire in the pulpit.
The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.
There is no true prayer without confession. As long as we have unconfessed sin in our soul, we are not going to have power with God in prayer. He says if we regard iniquity in our hearts, He will not hear us, much less answer. As long as we are living in any known sin, we have no power in prayer. God is not going to hear it.
I believe Satan exists for two reasons: first, the Bible says so, and second, I've done business with him.

David was the last one we would have chosen to fight the giant, but he was chosen of God.
The best definition I can find of faith is the dependence upon the veracity of another. The Bible definition in the 11th chapter of Hebrews is, 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' In other words, faith says amen to everything that God says. Faith takes God without any ifs, If God says it, Faith says I believe it; Faith says amen to it.
If you have so much business to attend to that you have no time to pray, depend upon it that you have more business on hand than God ever intended you should have.
