Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.
The nearer a man lives to God, the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart." -Charles Spurgeon
If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.
Prayer irrigates the fields of life with the waters which are stored up in the reservoirs of promise.
Do not fret over your heavy troubles, for they are the heralds of weighty mercies.
Jesus Christ does not save the worthy, but the unworthy. Your plea must not be righteousness but guilt
If we empty our hearts of self God will fill them with His love.
I shall never understand, even in heaven, why the Lord Jesus should ever have loved me.
We must trust as if it all depended on God and work as if it all depended on us
He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it.
The good man has his enemies. He would not be like His Lord if he had not. If we were without enemies we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for friendship of the world is enmity to God.
Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.
He who does not long to know more of Christ, knows nothing of him yet.
We must show sympathy with sinners, but not with their sins.
Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once.
When you have no helpers, see your helpers in God. When you have many helpers, see God in all your helpers. When you have nothing but God, see all in God. When you have everything, see God in everything. Under all conditions, stay thy heart only on the Lord.
Our joy ends where love of the world begins.
The best style of prayer is that which cannot be called anything else but a cry.
If you wait for a perfect church, you must wait until you get to heaven; and even if you could find a perfect assembly on earth, I am sure they would not admit you to their fellowship, for you are not perfect yourself.
It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian Church have had a decided tendency to dishonor God and to flatter man.
If you have no share in the living Lord may God have mercy upon you! If you have no share in Christ's rising from the dead then you will not be raised up in the likeness of His glorified body. If you do not attain to that resurrection from among the dead then you must abide in death.
Never be afraid of the world's censure; it's praise is much more to be dreaded.
Doth not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Doth not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Hath not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be?
The motto of all true servants of God must be, ‘We preach Christ; and him crucified.’ A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
