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

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

Dear brethren, this is exactly what we have to do, we have to pawn the present for the future. We must be satisfied to give up anything which Christ may require of us for the sake of that which is to come. Our inheritance is not on this side of Jordan. Our joy is yet to be revealed. I grant you that we have much thrown in, for the Lord is a good paymaster; but on the road to heaven he gives us only our spending money.

We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.

The vendors of flowers in the streets of London are wont to commend them to customers by crying: "All a blowing and a growing." It would be no small praise to Christians if we could say as much for them.
