It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.

Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you cracks and crevices of time, fill them up with holy service.

God has not made this world to be a nest for us, and if we try to make it such for ourselves, he plants thorns in it, so that we may be compelled to mount and find our soul’s true home somewhere else, in a higher and nobler sphere than this poor world can give.

If the devil never roars, the Church will never sing! God is not doing much if the devil is not awake and busy. Depend upon it: a working Christ makes a raging devil! When you hear ill reports, cruel speeches, threats, taunts and the like, believe that the Lord is among His people and is working gloriously.

Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That is a great mistake, for praying is a saving of time.

My friends, it is one thing to go to church or chapel; it is quite another thing to go to God.

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
