I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different; I did not present any new truths, and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world – it would be as dust in the balance.
There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.
If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.
Wouldn’t it be well to give some of your bouquets before a man dies, and not go and load down his coffin? He can’t enjoy them then.

The moral man is as guilty as the rest. His morality cannot save him.
The best work usually meets the strongest opposition.
God doesn’t expect the impossible from us. He wants us to expect the impossible from Him!

The reward of service is more service.
The Law can only chase a man to Calvary, no further.
If we do not commend the Gospel to people by our holy walk and conversation, we shall not win them to Christ. Some little act of kindness will perhaps do more to influence them than any number of long sermons.
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.

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.
No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.
