It is probably impossible to think without words, but if we permit ourselves to think with the wrong words, we shall soon be entertaining erroneous thoughts; for words, which are given us for the expression of thought, have a habit of going beyond their proper bounds and determining the content of thought.

It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.

For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.

A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.

We go astray when we think that we can do spiritual work without spiritual power.

Pray; and as you pray, surrender; and as you surrender, believe.

What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.
