Jesus poured out his soul in life before he poured it out unto death

Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.

God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength

I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.

Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.

A Christian is the gentlest of men; but then he is a man.
