God Has Called Us To Shine, Just As Much As Daniel Was Sent Into Babylon To Shine. Let No One Say That He Cannot Shine Because He Has Not So Much Influence As Some Others May Have. What God Wants You To Do Is To Use The Influence You Have. Daniel Probably Did Not Have Much Influence Down In Babylon At First, But God Soon Gave Him More Because He Was Faithful And Used What He Had.

If I Could Relive My Life, I Would Devote My Entire Ministry To Reaching Children For God!

People, When Asked If They Are Christians, Give Some Of The Strangest Answers You Ever Heard. Some Will Say If You Ask Them: "well - Well - Well, I, - I Hope I Am." Suppose A Man Should Ask Me If I Am An American. Would I Say: "well, I - Well, I - I Hope I Am?

I Believe This Is A Mistake A Great Many Of Us Are Making; We Are Trying To Do God's Work With The Grace God Gave Us Ten Years Ago. We Say, If It Is Necessary, We Will Go On With The Same Grace.

God Has Cast Our Confessed Sins Into The Depths Of The Sea, And He's Even Put A 'no Fishing' Sign Over The Spot.

The Fact Is, We Are Leaky Vessels, And We Have To Keep Right Under The Fountain All The Time To Keep Full Of Christ, And So Have Fresh Supply.

The Best Definition I Can Find Of Faith Is The Dependence Upon The Veracity Of Another. The Bible Definition In The 11th Chapter Of Hebrews Is, 'faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For, The Evidence Of Things Not Seen.' In Other Words, Faith Says Amen To Everything That God Says. Faith Takes God Without Any Ifs, If God Says It, Faith Says I Believe It; Faith Says Amen To It.

The Christian On His Knees Sees More Than The Philosopher On Tiptoe. God Sends No One Away Empty Except Those Who Are Full Of Themselves.

Our Faith Must Be Tested. God Builds No Ships But What He Sends To Sea.

I Believe Many A Man Is Praying To God To Fill Him, When He Is Full Already With Something Else. Before We Pray That God Would Fill Us, I Believe We Ought To Pray Him To Empty Us.

The Son Of God Passed By The Mansions And Went Down In A Manger That He Might Sympathize With The Lowly.

Sometimes When Your Child Talks, Your Friends Cannot Understand What He Says; But The Mother Understands Very Well. So If Our Prayer Comes From The Heart, God Understands Our Language.

How Easy It Is To Work For God When We Are Filled With His Spirit! His Service Is So Sweet, So Delightful; He Is Not A Hard Master. People Talk About Their Being Overworked And Breaking Down. It Is Not So. It Is [over-worry] And Care That Wears People Out. Why Do So Many Workers Break Down? Not From Overwork, But Because There Has Been Friction Of The Machinery; There Hasn't Been Enough Of The Oil Of The Spirit. Great Engines Have Their Machinery So Arranged That Where There Is Friction There Is Oil Dropping On It All The Time. It Is A Good Thing For Christians To Have Plenty Of Oil.

Many A Professing Christian Is A Stumbling-block Because His Worship Is Divided. On Sunday He Worships God; On Weekdays God Has Little Or No Place In His Thoughts.

We Must Have A Warrant For Our Prayers. If We Have Some Great Desire, We Must Search The Scriptures To Find If It Be Right To Ask It.

Many Of The Bible Characters Fell Just In The Things In Which They Were Thought To Be Strongest. Moses Failed In His Humility, Abraham In His Faith, Elijah In His Courage, For One Woman Scared Him Away To That Juniper-tree; And Peter, Whose Strong Point Was Boldness, Was So Frightened By A Maid, As To Deny His Lord.

The Trouble With A Great Many Men Is That They Spread Themselves Out Over Too Much Ground. They Fail In Everything. If They Would Only Put Their Life Into One Channel, And Keep It In, They Would Accomplish Something. They Make No Impression Because They Do A Little Work Here And A Little Work There....lay Yourselves On The Altar Of God, And Then Concentrate On Some One Work.

Everybody Wants To Enjoy Heaven After They Die, But They Don't Want To Be Heavenly-minded While They Live.

Careful For Nothing, Prayerful For Everything, Thankful For Anything.

Someday You Will Read In The Papers That Moody Is Dead. Don't You Believe A Word Of It. At That Moment I Shall Be More Alive Than I Am Now.

To Be Tempted Is Not To Sin. The Strongest Attacks Are Made On The Strongest Forts.

I Find That Many Christians Are In Trouble About The Future; They Think They Will Not Have Grace Enough To Die By. It Is Much More Important That We Should Have Grace Enough To Live By. It Seems To Me That Death Is Of Very Little Importance In The Meantime. When The Dying Hour Comes, There Will Be Dying Grace; But You Do Not Require Dying Grace To Live By.

God Has Nothing To Say To The Self-righteous.

Excuses Are The Cradle ... That Satan Rocks Men Off To Sleep In.

I'd Rather Be Able To Pray Than To Be A Great Preacher; Jesus Christ Never Taught His Disciples How To Preach, But Only How To Pray.

Spread Out Your Petition Before God, And Then Say, "thy Will, Not Mine, Be Done." The Sweetest Lesson I Have Learned In God's School Is To Let The Lord Choose For Me.

God Has Nothing To Say To The Self-righteous. Unless You Humble Yourself Before Him In The Dust, And Confess Before Him Your Iniquities And Sins, The Gate Of Heaven, Which Is Open Only For Sinners, Saved By Grace, Must Be Shut Against You Forever.

Someone Has Said That There Are Four Things Necessary In Studying The Bible: Admit, Submit, Commit And Transmit.

Some People Think God Does Not Like To Be Troubled With Our Constant Coming And Asking. The Way To Trouble God Is Not To Come At All.

I Thank God That The Gospel Is To Be Preached To Every Creature. There Is No Man So Far Gone, But The Grace Of God Can Reach Him; No Man So Desperate Or Black, But He Can Forgive Him.

Those Who Say They Will Forgive But Can't Forget, Simply Bury The Hatchet But Leave The Handle Out For Immediate Use.

God Had One Son Without Sin, But He Never Had A Son Without Trial.

When God Wants To Move A Mountain, He Does Not Take A Bar Of Iron, But He Takes A Little Worm. The Fact Is, We Have Too Much Strength. We Are Not Weak Enough. It Is Not Our Strength That We Want. One Drop Of God's Strength Is Worth More Than All The World.

The First Thing A Man Must Do If He Desires To Be Used In The Lord's Work, Is To Make An Unconditional Surrender Of Himself To God.

A Man Can No More Take In A Supply Of Grace For The Future Than He Can Eat Enough Today To Last Him For The Next 6 Months, Nor Can He Inhale Sufficient Air Into His Lungs With One Breath To Sustain Life For A Week To Come. We Are Permitted To Draw Upon God's Store Of Grace From Day To Day As We Need It.

Every One Ought To Study The Bible With Two Ends In View: His Own Growth In Knowledge And Grace, And Passing It On To Others. We Ought To Have Four Ears,- Two For Ourselves, And Two For Other People.

A Good Many Preachers Say I Am Lowering The Pulpit. I Am Glad I Am. I Am Trying To Get It Down To The Level Of Men's Hearts. If I Wanted To Hit Chicago I Would Not Put The Cannon On The Top Of This Building And Fire Into The Air. Too Many Preachers Fire Into The Air.

Ministry Need Not Be An Office; It's A Lifestyle Devoted To Attracting The Lost To Christ And Encouraging Other Believers In The Faith.

There Is No True Prayer Without Confession. As Long As We Have Unconfessed Sin In Our Soul, We Are Not Going To Have Power With God In Prayer.

What We Want Is To Be Real. Let Us Not Appear To Be More Than We Are. Don't Let Us Put On Any Cant, Any Assumed Humility, But Let Us Be Real; That Is The Delight Of God. God Wants Us To Be Real Men And Women, And If We Profess To Be What We Are Not, God Knows All About Us. God Hates Sham.
