Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.

We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.

If it were Christ's intention to save all men, how deplorably He has been disappointed!

You will never be saved against your will; God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.

Reckon then that to acquire soul-winning power, you will have to go through mental torment and soul distress. You must go into the fire if you are going to pull others out of it, and you will have to dive into the floods if you are going to draw others out of the water. You cannot work a fire escape without feeling the scorch of the conflagration, nor man a lifeboat without being covered with the waves.

You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.

My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy.
