A man who fears not God, will break all his laws with an easy conscience, but one who is the favorite of heaven, who has been indulged to sit at royal banquets, who knows the eternal love of God to him, cannot bear that there should be any evil way in him that might grieve the Spirit and bring dishonor to the name of Christ. A very little sin, as the world calls it, is a very great sin to a truly awakened Christian.
Care more for a grain of faith than a ton of excitement.
I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.
You are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.
Next to the Bible, the book I value most is John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I believe I have read it through at least a hundred times. It is a volume of which I never seem to tire; and the secret of its freshness is that it is so largely compiled from the Scriptures.
Trust Christ, but do not trust yourself
Let gratitude be awakened; let humility be deepened; let love be quickened.
There is no reward from God to those who seek it from men.
The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.
It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.
When we preach Christ crucified, we have no reason to stammer, or stutter, or hesitate, or apologize; there is nothing in the gospel of which we have any cause to be ashamed.
Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.
As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.
The mind of God is greater than all the minds of men, so let all men leave the gospel just as God has delivered it unto us.
The more we pray, the more we shall want to pray. The more we pray, the more we can pray. The more we pray, the more we shall pray. He who prays little will pray less, but he who prays much will pray more. And he who prays more, will desire to pray more abundantly.
Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
Ten minutes praying is better than a year's murmuring.
Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!
Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation.
It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
The Word of God will be to you a bulwark and a high tower, a castle of defense against the foe. Oh, see to it that the Word of God is in you, in your very soul, permeating your thoughts, and so operating upon your outward life, that all may know you to be a true Bible-Christian, for they perceive it in your words and deeds.
Ah, Lord Jesus! I never knew Your love till I understood the meaning of Your death.
He who does not serve God where he is would not serve God anywhere else.
Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!
You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
