Satisfaction with results will be the [death] knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough.

We often forget that the author of our faith must be the finisher of it also.

If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false.

One night alone in prayer might make us new men, changed from poverty of soul to spiritual wealth, from trembling to triumphing.

I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

Never be afraid of your Bibles.
