To be tempted is not to sin. The strongest attacks are made on the strongest forts.
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.
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.
