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, and things will get no better till we get back to His realized presence and power. Samuel Chadwick Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.

Till men have faith in Christ, their best services are but glorious sins.

When you have overcome one temptation, you must be ready to enter the lists with another. As distrust, in some sense, is the mother of safety, so security is the gate of danger.

He that will play with Satan's bait, will quickly be taken with Satan's hook.

It is better to have a sore than a seared conscience.

Fire and water may as well agree in the same vessel, as grace and sin in the same heart.

Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.
