The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost.

Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but It takes heart to comfort.

A gift without a heart behind it is a bribe. God asks for our heart, not our gifts.

The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no power.

The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost.

The Christian religion is hopeless without the Holy Ghost.

We give ourselves to prayer. We preach a Gospel that saves to the uttermost, and witness to its power. We do not argue about worldliness; we witness. We do not discuss philosophy; we preach the Gospel. We do not speculate about the destiny of sinners; we pluck them as brands from the burning. We ask no man's patronage. We beg no man's money. We fear no man's frownLet no man join us who is afraid, and we want none but those who are saved, sanctified and aflame with the fire of the Holy Ghost.
