The Christian is not superficial in any sense, but is fundamentally serious and fundamentally happy. You see, the joy of the Christian is a holy joy; the happiness of the Christian is a serious happiness. ... it is a solemn joy, it is a holy joy, it is a serious happiness; so that, though he is grave and sober-minded and serious, he is never cold and prohibitive.

Though we claim to believe the whole of Scripture, in practice we frequently deny much of it by ignoring it.

If in a Christian pulpit you have no business saying, "I suggest to you" No! "These things I declare to you."

There is a very real danger of our putting our faith in our sermon rather than in the Spirit. Our faith should not be in the sermon, it should be in the Holy Spirit Himself.

People are often unhappy in the Christian life because they have thought of Christianity, and the whole message of the gospel, in inadequate terms.

The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to succeed before he is ready.
