So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.

When you speak of heaven, let your face light up; let it be irradiated by a heavenly gleam; let your eyes shine with reflected glory. But when you speak of hell, your ordinary expression will do.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

We are all damaged goods in recovery.

No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.

He is truly great in who hath power over himself.

If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.
