I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God's failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.

Surely it is worthwhile to lay ourselves out with all our might in promoting the cause and kingdom of Christ.

The future is as bright as the promise of God.

A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own; he is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.

Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.

The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.

I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
