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.

Faith is the refusal to panic.

Conviction is not repentance; conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

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

The most vital question to ask about all who claim to be Christian is this: Have they a soul thirst for God? ... Is their life centered on Him? Do they press forward more and more that they might know Him.

You can have knowledge, and you can be meticulous in your preparation; but without the unction of the Holy Spirit you will have no power, and your preaching will not be effective.

The devil's one object is so to depress God's people that he can go to the man of the world and say: There are God's people. Do you want to be like that?
