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.
Many a professing Christian is a stumbling-block because his worship is divided. On Sunday he worships God; on weekdays God has little or no place in his thoughts.
It is a good deal better to have life in Christ and God than any where else. I would rather have my life hid with Christ in God than be in Eden as Adam was. Adam might have remained in Paradise for 16,000 years, and then fallen, but if ours is hid in Christ, how safe!
Dr. Bonar once said that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he himself was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until, like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun.
How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn’t very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah’s prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful.
The Lord gives his people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to him.
I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.
I like my way of doing things better than your way of not doing them.
