The voice from the tree did not summon them to do, but to be satisfied with what was done.
The more fully that the gospel is preached, in the grand old apostolic way, the more likely is it to accomplish the results which it did in the apostolic days.
Christian, your whole life is to be one continuous following of the Lord.
It is to the dead that the life comes; it is to the unloveable that the love comes; it is to the lost that the salvation comes.
Life is a journey, not a home; a road, not a city of habitation; and the enjoyments and blessings we have are but little inns on the roadside of life, where we may be refreshed for a moment, that we may with new strength press on to the end – to the rest that remaineth for the people of God.
A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.

In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one’s self, and a bad opinion of God.
Do not heed the jar of man’s warring opinions. Let God be true and every man a liar. The Bible is the Bible still. If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God. You have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.
Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world’s famine feed.
Love of novelties has been the shipwreck of many a soul.
