Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.
God has nothing to say to the self-righteous.
Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.
It is the only happy life to live for the salvation of souls.
Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.
The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
If God tells us to do a thing we are to do it; if He tells us to believe a thing, we are to believe it; we are to have faith in God. Have faith in God, and if God tells you to believe a thing believe it, and then you will have peace and confidence and joy.
So few grow, because so few study.
I’d rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.
David was the last one we would have chosen to fight the giant, but he was chosen of God.
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me.
Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live. The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.
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.
