Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven; why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.

I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes

We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them.

We must do business in great waters; we must be really on the deck in a storm, if we would see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. We must have stood side by side with King David; we must have gone down into the pit to slay the lion or have lifted up the spear against the eight hundred, if we would know the saving strength of God's right hand. Conflicts bring experience, and experience brings that growth in grace which is not to be attained by any other means.

If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!

Avoid a sugared gospel as you would shun sugar of lead. Seek the gospel which rips up and tears and cuts and wounds and hacks and even kills, for that is the gospel that makes alive again. And when you have found it, give good heed to it. Let it enter into your inmost being. As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.

The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
