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

Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble; they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.

Right is right though all condemn, and wrong is wrong though all approve.

You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.

It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.

Feel for others - in your pocket

The tears of affliction are often needed to keep the eye of faith bright.
