If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.

Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?

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

There are ideas in our hearts, there are wishes, there are aspirations, there are groanings, there are sighings that the world knows nothing about; but God knows them. So words are not always necessary. When we cannot express our feelings except in wordless groanings, God knows exactly what is happening.

You must be made miserable before you can know true Christian joy. Indeed the real trouble with the miserable Christian is that he has never been truly made miserable because of conviction of sin. He has by-passed the essential preliminary to joy, he has been assuming something that he has no right to assume.

There is nothing which so certifies the genuineness of a man's faith as his patience and his patient endurance, his keeping on steadily in spite of everything.

There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.
