Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works; and he that is without works is without faith.

The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.

Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.

The early morning hour should be dedicated to praise: do not the birds set us the example?

I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.

Prayer must not be our chance work but our daily business, our habit and vocation.

Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
