If it were Christ's intention to save all men, how deplorably He has been disappointed!

Reply implicitly upon the old, old gospel. You need no other nets when you fish for men; those your Master has given you are strong enough to hold the little ones. Spread these nets and no others, and you need not fear the fulfillment of His word, 'I will make you fishers of men.'

Mighty prayer has often been produced by mighty trial.

Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus.

Who among you today is doing the most for your Master's kingdom? I will tell you. Lend me a spiritual thermometer by which I may try the heat of your heart, and I will tell you the amount of your success.

He who affirms that Christianity makes men miserable, is himself an utter stranger to it.

When you are instructed by affliction, you can become a comforter to the afflicted.
