Go on, dear brother; but an inch of time remains, and then eternal ages roll on for ever – but an inch on which we can stand and preach the way of salvation to a perishing world.
Remember also, the present is your only time to be saved. There is no believing, no repenting, no conversion in the grave – no minister will speak to you there. This is the time of conversion.
The seed of every sin known to man is in my heart.
Never forget that the end of a sermon is the salvation of the people.
The unconverted do not like to hear much about the Holy Spirit.
One gem from that ocean is worth all the pebbles from earthly streams.
Watch against lip religion. Above all abide in Christ and he will abide in you.
A dark hour makes Jesus bright.
O believing brethren! What an instrument is this which God hath put into your hands! Prayer moves Him that moves the universe.
I ought to pray before seeing any one. Often when I sleep long, or meet with others early, it is eleven or twelve o’clock before I begin secret prayer. I feel it is far better to begin with God-to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another.
Give yourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. If you do not pray, God will probably lay you aside from your ministry, as He did me, to teach you to pray.
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies.
Ah! believers, you are a tempted people. You are always poor and needy. And God intends it should be so, to give you constant errands to go to Jesus. Some may say, it is not good to be a believer; but ah! see to whom we can go.
There are many hearing me who now know well that they are not Christians because they do not love to give. To give largely and liberally, not grudging at all, requires a new heart.
Learn that urgency in prayer does not so much consist in vehement pleading, as in vehement believing. He that believes most the love and power of Jesus will obtain the most in prayer.
There is nothing a natural man hates more than prayer.
Study your prayers, a great part of my time is spent getting in tune for prayer.
It is not our comment on the Word that saves, but the Word itself.
The sea ebbs and flows, but the rock remains unmoved.
The Bible is an inexhaustible fountain of all truths. The existence of the Bible is the greatest blessing which humanity ever experienced. Few tremble at the Word of God, Few, in reading it, hear the voice of Jehovah, which is full of majesty.
