What we need as Christians is to be able to feed ourselves. How many there are who sit helpless and listless, with open mouths, hungry for spiritual things, and the minister has to try to feed them, while the Bible is a feast prepared, into which they never venture.
The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.
I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone.
Those who say they will forgive but can’t forget, simply bury the hatchet but leave the handle out for immediate use.
If our circumstances find us in God, we shall find God in all our circumstances.
The impression that a praying mother leaves upon her children is life-long. Perhaps when you are dead and gone your prayer will be answered.
The man that is popular with the world is not a friend of Jesus. You cannot serve two masters. The world hates Christ, and if you are a friend of the world you cannot be a friend of His. You may be sure that something is wrong with you when everybody is your friend.
Sometimes when your child talks, your friends cannot understand what he says; but the mother understands very well. So if our prayer comes from the heart, God understands our language.
His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion.
There has never been a time in my life when I felt that I could take a gun and shoot down a fellow-being. In this respect I am a Quaker.
Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.
The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.
I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a man neglects his Bible, he may pray and ask God to use him in His work; but God cannot make much use of him, for there is not much for the Holy Ghost to work upon.
If we have got the true love of God shed abroad in our hearts, we will show it in our lives. We will not have to go up and down the earth proclaiming it. We will show it in everything we say or do.
When I was a young man I heard Henry Barley say that the world has yet to see what God can do for a man fully yielded to Him, and I said I wanted to be that man. But I can say today the world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully yielded to Him.
Be humble, or you’ll stumble.
Thanks be to God, there is hope to-day; this very hour you can choose Him and serve Him.
It is the greatest pleasure of living to win souls to Christ.
Faith takes God without any ifs. If God says anything, faith says, “I believe it”; faith says, “Amen” to it.
Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don’t want to be heavenly-minded while they live.
