When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him.

Our Lord's first obedience was to the will of his Father, not to the needs of men; the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father.

We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is.

There is nothing more certain in Time or Eternity than what Jesus Christ did on the Cross.

The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.

The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.

We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.
