In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God; and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!

It is only serving God that is doing immortal work; it is only living for Christ that is living at all.

As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.

Our prayers are the shadows of mercy.

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