I looked for the church and I found it in the world; I looked for the world and I found it in the church.
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 religion faith does not spring out of feeling, but feeling out of faith. The less we feel the more we should trust. We cannot feel right till we have believed.
Sin is too great an evil for man to meddle with. His attempts to remove it do but increase it, and his endeavours to approach God in spite of it aggravate his guilt.
Less, less of self each day, And more, my God, of Thee!

Sow truth, if thou the truth wouldst reap: Who sows the false shall reap the vain.
Teach us by your lives.
It is easier to speak about revival than to set about it.
A believing man will be a zealous man. Faith makes a man zealous. Faith shows itself by zeal. Not by zeal for a party or a system or an opinion; but by zeal for Christ – zeal for His church – zeal for the carrying on of His work on earth.
How fast we learn in the day of sorrow! Scripture shines out in a new effulgence; every verse seems to contain a sunbeam, every promise stands out in illuminated splendor; things hard to be understood become in a moment plain.
I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad; I found in Him a resting place, and he has made me glad.
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.
