I would rather play with forked lightning, or take in my hand living wires with their fiery current, than to speak a reckless word against any servant of Christ, or idly repeat the slanderous darts which thousands of Christians are hurling on others, to the hurt of their own souls and bodies.

Before we can speak God's message, we must learn to listen. The opened ear comes before the opened mouth.

As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want God, it is an idol.

This is our high calling, to represent Christ, and act in His behalf, and in His character and spirit, under all circumstances and toward all men.

Have we forgotten that there is a Holy Ghost, that we must insist upon walking on crutches when we might fly?

Your words and wishes are cheap if they do not find expression in your actual gifts.

The Christian that is bound by his own horizon, the church that lives simply for itself, is bound to die a spiritual death and sink into stagnancy and corruption. We never can thank God enough for giving us not only a whole Gospel to believe, but a whole world to give it to.
