Whenever you get one inch above the ground in your own esteem, you are that inch too high!

The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up, nay, you have to cut every step with an ice axe; only with incessant labor in cutting and chipping can you make any progress... If you want to know how to backslide, leave off going forward. Cease going upward and you will go downward of necessity. You can never stand still.

If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.

To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, acts with a hand that never fails

A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way; you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.

Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
