...There is a great need of more familiarity with the Scriptures and their teaching in order that we may be crushed to our knees with a sense of humility and be made to cry to God that He would visit us again.

A Christian is something before he does anything; and we have to be Christian before we can act as Christians.

First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book; he starts with it; he submits himself to it; this is his authority.

People who think that once they are converted all will be happy, have forgotten Satan.

You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.

The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.

We all tend to go to extremes; some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more; others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no "either/or" here; it is always "both/and." These two things must go together.
