The church can have light only as it is full of the Spirit, and it can be full only as the members that compose it are filled individually.
Do not allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that unique quality God has breathed into you.
When a man of God dies, nothing of God dies.
Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one
Prayer for revival will prevail when it is accompanied by radical amendment of life; not before.
No one can long worship God in spirit and in truth before the obligation to holy service becomes too strong to resist.
We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.
Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.
A Christian expects to go to Heaven on the virtue of another.
Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes, but the prophets, where are they?
