Labor in the Lord is not in vain. Labor outside the Lord may well be in vain. We labor in the Lord when we labor using His enablement for His glory.
Faith is a re-directing of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus.
Always God’s goodness is the ground of our expectation.
I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.
Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us...

Because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.

You win them to what you win them with.
As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.
Our most pressing obligation is to do all in our power to obtain a revival that will result in a reformed, revitalized, purified church. Each generation of Christians is the seed of the next, and degenerate seed is sure to produce a degenerate harvest.
What else should we do with the Word of God but obey?
We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.
God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays.
If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.
Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.
