Be thankful for the thorns and thistles, which keep you from being in love with this world, and becoming an idolater.

Men will allow God to be everywhere except on his Throne

We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.

A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.

The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world; in its very essence it is for ever good news.

Never lose heart in the power of the gospel.

It cannot be that there is a high appreciation of Jesus and a totally silent tongue about him
