The diver plunges deep to find pearls, and we must accept any labor or hazard to win a soul

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

Sometimes a fog will settle over a vessel's deck and yet leave the topmast clear. Then a sailor goes up aloft and gets a lookout which the helmsman on deck cannot get. So prayer sends the soul aloft; lifts it above the clouds in which our selfishness and egotism befog us, and gives us a chance to see which way to steer.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.

Holy service in constant fellowship with God is heaven below

As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
