Prayer is an art which only the Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer.
Prayer is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honor of a Christian.
The law is for the self-righteous, to humble their pride: the gospel is for the lost, to remove their despair
Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble; they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.
I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, What! all this, and Christ too?
There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross-bearers here below.
Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.
Six feet of dirt make all men equal.
The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world.
A true prayer is an inventory of needs, a catalog of necessities, an exposure of secret wounds, a revelation of hidden poverty.
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
We often forget that the author of our faith must be the finisher of it also.
Suffering is better than sinning. There is more evil in a drop of sin than in an ocean of affliction. Better, burn for Christ, than turn from Christ.
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Jesus! it is the name which moves the harps of heaven to melody. Jesus! the life of all our joys. If there be one name more charming, more precious than another, it is this name. It is woven into the very warp and woof of our psalmody. Many of our hymns begin with it, and scarcely any, that are good for anything, end without it. It is the sum total of all delights. It is the music with which the bells of heaven ring; a song in a word; an ocean for comprehension, although a drop for brevity; a matchless oratorio in two syllables; a gathering up of the hallelujahs of eternity in five letters.
Idle men tempt the devil to tempt them.
If you meet with a system of theology which magnifies man, flee from it as far as you can.
From all the afflictions, Your glory shall spring. And the deeper the sorrow, the louder you'll sing.
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died.
A rejoicing heart soon makes a praising tongue.
The greatest joy of a Christian is to give joy to Christ.
I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
The child, in danger of the fire, just clings to the fireman, and trusts to him alone. She raises no question about the strength of his limbs to carry her, or the zeal of his heart to rescue her; but she clings. The heat is terrible, the smoke is blinding, but she clings; and her deliverer quickly bears her to safety. In the same childlike confidence cling to Jesus, who can and will bear you out of danger from the flames of sin.
Prayer is the best response to hatred.
