Everything is a trifle to a man who is a Christian except the glorifying of Christ

I had rather be poor in His service than rich in my own.

Earnestness is good; it means business. But fanaticism overdoes, and is consequently reactionary.

Christian, beware of thinking lightly of sin. Take heed in case you fall little by little.

If you will not have death unto sin, you shall have sin unto death. There is no alternative. If you do not die to sin, you shall die for sin. If you do not slay sin, sin will slay you.

...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer.
