The Law can only chase a man to Calvary, no further.
This lost world will never be reached and brought back to loyalty to God, until the children of God wake up to the fact that they have a mission in the world. If we are true Christians we should all be missionaries.
The fact is, we are leaky vessels, and we have to keep right under the fountain all the time to keep full of Christ, and so have fresh supply.
There is no harder lesson for man to learn than the lesson of humility. It is the rarest of all gifts. It is a very rare thing to find a man or woman that is following closely the footsteps of the Master in meekness and humility.
Ministry need not be an office; it’s a lifestyle devoted to attracting the lost to Christ and encouraging other believers in the faith.
Temperance is love in training.
God has two thrones, on in the highest heavens, the other in the lowliest heart.
To be tempted is not to sin. The strongest attacks are made on the strongest forts.
No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.
If the Savior could die for the world, can’t we work for it?
It is clear you don’t like my way of doing evangelism. You raise some good points. Frankly, I sometimes do not like my way of doing evangelism. But I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.
When a man is not deeply convicted of sin, it is a pretty sure sign that he has not truly repented. Experience has taught me that men who have very slight conviction of sin sooner or later lapse back into their old life.
Man is born with his face turned away from God. When he truly repents, he is turned right round toward God; he leaves his old life.
Salvation is worth working for. It is worth a man’s going round the world on his hands and knees, climbing its mountains, crossing its valleys, swimming its rivers, going through all manner of hardship in order to attain it. But we do not get it in that way. It is to him who believes.
Seeking to perpetuate one’s name on earth is like writing on the sand by the seashore; to be perpetual it must be written on eternal shores.
I know I have a first-rate mind, but that’s no source of pride to me. Intelligent people are a dime a dozen. But I am proud of having character.
A Christian in the world is one thing, and the world in a Christian is quite another thing. A ship in the water is all right, but when the water gets in the ship, it is quite a different thing.
The Son of God passed by the mansions and went down in a manger that He might sympathize with the lowly.
Faith gives us living joy and dying rest.
Faith is an outward look, not an inward look.
