The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.
You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.
My friends, if we are going to do a great work for God, we must spend much time in prayer; we have got to be closeted with God.
It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.
There is no use in running before you are sent; there is no use in attempting to do God’s work without God’s power. A man working without this unction, a man working without this anointing, a man working without the Holy Ghost upon him, is losing time after all.
Preparation for old age should begin not later than one’s teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.
We must have a warrant for our prayers. If we have some great desire, we must search the scriptures to find if it be right to ask it.
Someone has said that there are four things necessary in studying the Bible: Admit, submit, commit and transmit.
We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.
There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit.
Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.
Would you be free from the condemnation of the sins that are past, from the power of the temptations that are to come? Then take your stand on the Rock of Ages. Let death, let the grave, let the judgment come, the victory is Christ’s and yours through Him.
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine.
God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness; let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls.
If you have so much business to attend to that you have no time to pray, depend upon it that you have more business on hand than God ever intended you should have.
If I walk with the world, I can’t walk with God.
God never made a promise that was too good to be true.
What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, never giving out anything. Why is it that many Christians are cold? Because they are all the time receiving, never giving out anything.
