Prayer must not be our chance work but our daily business, our habit and vocation.

You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.

It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.

God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.

You never hear Jesus say in Pilate's judgement hall one word that would let you imagine that He was sorry that He had undertaken so costly a sacrifice for us. When His hands are pierced, when He is parched with fever, His tongue dried up like a shard of pottery, when His whole body is dissolved into the dust of death, you never hear a groan or a shriek that looks like Jesus is going back on His commitment.

Soul-winning is the chief business of the Christian minister; it should be the main pursuit of every true believer.

Obedience to the will of God is the pathway to perpetual honor and everlasting joy.
