If God has fit you to be a missionary, I would not have you shrivel down to be a king.

You may alter an opinion, but you cannot alter a #‎ fact .

Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus Christ to keep you out of hell.

Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.

The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great; but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house; they have not gone far off; they are upstairs and we are down below.

Faith pulls the black mask from the face of trouble, and discovers the angel beneath.

I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
