In spiritual things, this world is all wintertime so long as the Saviour is away.

I have a high priest in heaven

God's children should pray. They should cry day and night to Him. God hears every one of your cries in the busy hour of the daytime and in the lonely watches of the night.

When the voice of Christ speaks through the Word, then you will arise, and leave all, and follow Him.

Study your prayers, a great part of my time is spent getting in tune for prayer.

Remember also, the present is your only time to be saved. There is no believing, no repenting, no conversion in the grave---no minister will speak to you there. This is the time of conversion.

Affliction shows the power of Christ's blood, when it gives peace in an hour of trouble, when it can make happy in sickness, poverty, persecution and death. Do not be surprised if you suffer, but glorify God.
