Following Christ means following him through life, following him in every word and gesture, following him out of one clime into another.

Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.

Other men may preach the gospel better than I, but no man can preach a better gospel.

Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer.
