Fervency in prayer by the power of the Holy Spirit is a good preservative against thoughts rushing in. Flies never settle on the boiling pot.
When God gave Christ to this world, He gave the best He had, and He wants us to do the same.
The Gospel of John opens with Jesus Christ in the bosom of God, and closes with the sinner in the bosom of Jesus Christ.
At a certain meeting two and a half people were converted to Christ. A friend asked if he meant, two adults and a child. The facts were just the opposite two children and an adult. When a child is led to Christ, a whole life is saved!
I thank God that the gospel is to be preached to every creature. There is no man so far gone, but the grace of God can reach him; no man so desperate or black, but He can forgive him.
You cannot find, I believe, a case in the Bible where a man is converted without God’s calling in some human agency – using some human instrument.
A man to be converted has to give up his will, his ways, and his thoughts.
Lying covers a multitude of sins – temporarily.
As a dead man cannot inherit an estate, no more can a dead soul inherit heaven. The soul must be resurrected in Christ.

I tell you there is one thing that draws above everything else in this world, and that is love.
When God wants to move a mountain, he does not take a bar of iron, but he takes a little worm. The fact is, we have too much strength. We are not weak enough. It is not our strength that we want. One drop of God’s strength is worth more than all the world.
The measure of a man is not how many servants he has but how many men he serves .
We are not fountains ourselves; but the Word of God is the true fountain.
Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray that He would empty us.
If God did not want us to understand the book of Revelation, He would not have given it to us at all.
I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord’s people were divided.
The valley of the shadow of death holds no darkness for the child of God. There must be light, else there could be no shadow. Jesus is the light. He has overcome death.
My friends, look to Christ, and not to yourselves. That is what is the matter with a great many sinners; instead of looking to Christ, they are looking at the bite of sin.
