If you are ever inclined to pray for a missionary, do it at once, where ever you are. Perhaps he may be in great peril at that moment.

Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

When an answer I did not expect comes to a prayer which I believed I truly meant, I shrink back from it; if the burden my Lord asks me to bear be not the burden of my heart's choice, and I fret inwardly and do not welcome His will, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

Oh, will you pray? Stop now and pray, lest desire turn to feeling and feeling evaporate.

The word comfort is from two Latin words meaning “with” and “strong” – He is with us to make us strong. Comfort is not soft, weakening commiseration; it is true, strengthening love.

I believe truly that Satan cannot endure it and so slips out of the room - more or less - when there is a true song.

I would rather burn out than rust out.
