Prayer is never rejected so long as we do not cease to pray. The chief failure of prayer is its cessation.

The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.

The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master.

People complain that the religious ground is unsure who have never compelled themselves to examine it with a tithe of the care spent on a contract; but they have taken current suggestions in a dreamy and hypnotised way. They will not attend, they will not force themselves to attend, gravely to the gravest things.... they read everything in a vagrant, browsing fashion. They turn on the most serious subjects the holiday, seaside, newspaper habit of mind

It is not in our choice to spread the gospel or not. It is our death if we do not.

It is possible to be so active in the service of Christ as to forget to love him.

Prayer is a weapon, a mighty weapon in a terrible conflict. Our prayers are to be a continual, conscious, earnest effort of battle, the battle against whatever is not God's will.
