I take leave to contradict those who say that salvation is an evolution! All that ever can be evolved out of the sinful heart of man is sin-and nothing else! Salvation is the free gift of God, by Jesus Christ, and the work of it is supernatural. It is done by the Lord Himself, and He has power to do it, however weak, no, however dead in sin, the sinner may be!

Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.

God helps those who cannot help themselves.

My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died; my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!

You will always know whether you are delivered from the guilt of sin by answering this question: Am I delivered from the love of sin?

Great faith must have great trials.

If any man will preach as he should preach, his work will take more out of him than any other labor under heaven.
