When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.

When we cannot see the sunshine of God's face, it is blessed to cower down beneath the shadow of his wings.

The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.

Some go to church to take a walk; some go there to laugh and talk. Some go there to meet a friend; some go there their time to spend. Some go there to meet a lover; some go there a fault to cover. Some go there for speculation; some go there for observation. Some go there to doze and nod; the wise go there to worship God.

If God has fit you to be a missionary, I would not have you shrivel down to be a king.

If we do wrong and no harm comes of it, we are not thereby justified. If we did evil and good came of it, the evil would be just as evil. It is not the result of the action, but the action itself which God weighs.

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.
