Nothing is so offensive to Christ as lukewarmness in religion.

Men fall in private long before they fall in public.

I want people to fill their minds with passages of Scripture while they are well and strong, that they may have sure help in the day of need. I want them to be diligent in studying their Bibles, and becoming familiar with its contents, in order that the grand old Book may stand by them and talk with them when all earthly friends fail.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

Prosperity is a great mercy, but adversity is a greater one, if it brings us to Christ.
