There are many hearing me who now know well that they are not Christians because they do not love to give. To give largely and liberally, not grudging at all, requires a new heart.

I ought to pray before seeing any one. Often when I sleep long, or meet with others early, it is eleven or twelve o'clock before I begin secret prayer. I feel it is far better to begin with God-to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another.

A holy man is a mighty weapon in the hands of God.

O believing brethren! What an instrument is this which God hath put into your hands! Prayer moves Him that moves the universe.

Rose early to seek God and found Him whom my soul loveth. Who would not rise early to meet such company?

Never forget that the end of a sermon is the salvation of the people.

Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.
