I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
This is the doctrine that we preach; if a man be saved, all the honor is to be given to Christ; but if a man be lost, all the blame is to be laid upon himself. You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences, salvation is all of the grace of God, damnation is all of the will of man.
Lord, send Your life throughout the entire church. Visit Your church; restore sound doctrine and holy, earnest living. Take away from professing Christians their love of frivolities, their attempts to meet the world on it's own ground, and give back the old love of the doctrines of the Cross and Christ. May free grace and dying love again be the music that refreshes the church and makes her heart exceeding glad.
Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.
No stars gleam as brightly as those which glisten in the polar sky. No water tastes so sweet as that which springs amid the desert sand. And no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs through adversity. Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known God’s strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw his hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; he is manna always falling round the camp; he is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from his smitten side; the rain of his grace is always dropping; the river of his bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of his love is constantly overflowing.
Of all the things in the world that can set the heart burning, there is nothing like the presence of Jesus!
You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
Live in such a way that men may recognize that you have been with Jesus.
As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God.
A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.
If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.
Winners of souls must first be weepers for souls.
You must keep all earthy treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.
We are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary.
When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song.
No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow.
Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.
God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?
