Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.

if we hold fast our confidence in Him, but our faith is also, by the exercise, strengthened: and so it comes, that, if we walk with God in any measure of uprightness of heart, the trials of faith will be greater and greater.

Every instance of obedience, from right motives, strengthens us spiritually, whilst every act of disobedience weakens us.

Money is really worth no more than as it can be used to accomplish the Lord's work. Life is worth as much as it is spent for the Lord's service.

Only a life of prayer and meditation will render a vessel ready for the Master's use.

It is true that the faith, which I am enabled to exercise, is altogether God's own gift; it is true that He alone supports it, and that He alone can increase it; it is true that, moment by moment, I depend upon Him for it, and that, if I were only one moment left to myself, my faith would utterly fail.

If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
