Make Jesus Christ your theme! I have seen preachers espouse causes and champion movements, and when the cause died and the movement collapsed, the preacher vanished too. But the man who glories in Christ never grows stale.

If the Lord tarries, there may yet be a grass-roots awakening that will overflow all sectarian barriers. There are a host of good people... who long for a visitation from heaven in old-time power. The kindling wood is scattered all round in all the churches. May God help us to rake off the ashes, uncover the live coals and may He blow upon us with the breath of His Spirit!

I can conceive of no greater, more romantic and interesting adventure than to undertake to live like Jesus in this complicated day.

It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.

To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.

I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.

Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
