What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation; they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.

Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!

We should pray when we are in a praying mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should pray when we are not in a proper mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.

Trials teach us what we are.

Wash your face every morning in a bath of praise.

God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.

Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls.
