A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats
The Word of God is like a lion. You don't have to defend a lion. All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself.
You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace.
The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.”
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
It is not a matter of time so much as a matter of heart; if you have the heart to pray, you will find the time.
Bible study is the metal that forges a Christian.
The Word of God is the anvil upon which the opinions of men are smashed.
God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.
Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died; my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!
It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.
God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?
Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible; you open its cage and let it roar.
There must be a divorce between you and sin, or there can be no marriage between you and Christ.
If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.
Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.
The more you read the Bible; and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.
I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
We must all learn to hear what we do not like. The question is not, 'Is it pleasant?' but, 'Is it true?'
When God places a burden upon you, He places His arms underneath you.
If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.
