Faith is the acknowledgment of the entire absence of all goodness in us, and the recognition of the cross as the substitute for all the want on our part. Faith saves, because it owns the complete salvation of another, and not because it contributes anything to that salvation.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.

It is easier to speak about revival than to set about it.

A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.

The believed gospel saves; but it is the believed promise that assures us of this salvation.

Sow truth, if thou the truth wouldst reap: Who sows the false shall reap the vain.

In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously. In one single quiet hour of prayer it will often make more progress than in days of company with others. It is in the desert that the dew falls freshest and the air its purest.
