We are all damaged goods in recovery.

Don’t go where it is all fine music and grand talk and beautiful architecture; those things will neither fill anybody’s stomach, nor feed his soul. Go where the gospel is preached, the gospel that really feeds your soul, and go often.

The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great; but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house; they have not gone far off; they are upstairs and we are down below.

If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.

Prayer bends omnipotence of heaven to your desire. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world.
