The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.

Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.

To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.

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

Children are very quick observers; very quick in seeing through some kinds of hypocrisy, very quick in finding out what you really think and feel, very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions. You will often discover that, as the father is, so is the son.

The saddest symptom about many so-called Christians is the utter absence of anything like conflict and fight against spiritual apathy in their Christianity. They eat, they drink, they dress, they work, they amuse themselves, they get money, they spend money, they go through a brief round of formal religious services once or twice every week. But of the great spiritual warfare - its watchings and strugglings, its agonies and anxieties, its battles and contests - of all things they appear to know nothing at all. Let us take care that this case is not our own.

Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
