A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.

The early morning hour should be dedicated to praise: do not the birds set us the example?

We must remember that the GOAL of prayer is the ear of God. Unless that is gained, the prayer has utterly failed. The uttering of it may have kindled devotional feeling in our minds, the hearing of it may have comforted and strengthened the hearts of those with whom we have prayed, but if the prayer has not gained the heart of God, it has failed in its essential purpose.

Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.

The fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it.

Nothing can damn a man but his own righteousness; nothing can save him but the righteousness of Christ.

Prayer is doubts destroyer, ruin's remedy, the antidote to all anxieties.
