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.

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.

Unless The Spirit Of God Is With Us, We Cannot Expect That Our Prayers Will Be Answered.

God Will Not Accept A Divided Heart. He Must Be Absolute Monarch. There Is Not Room In Your Heart For Two Thrones.

Jesus Came From Heaven Down To Earth. He Left All Grandeur Behind Him, He Passed By Palaces And Thrones-to Be Born In A Manger! He Was Born Lowly, That He Might Raise Men Up To God.

God Has Two Thrones, On In The Highest Heavens, The Other In The Lowliest Heart.

I Have Had More Trouble With Myself Than With Any Other Man I Have Ever Met.

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. Now, What We Want Is A Fresh Supply, A Fresh Anointing And Fresh Power, And If We Seek It, And Seek It With All Our Hearts, We Will Obtain It.

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.

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 Object Of The Bible Is Not To Tell How Good Men Are, But How Bad Men Can Become Good.

Dr. Bonar Once Said That He Could Tell When A Christian Was Growing. In Proportion To His Growth In Grace He Would Elevate His Master, Talk Less Of What He Himself Was Doing, And Become Smaller And Smaller In His Own Esteem, Until, Like The Morning Star, He Faded Away Before The Rising Sun.

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.

No Man Can Resolve Himself Into Heaven.

God Doesn't Expect The Impossible From Us. He Wants Us To Expect The Impossible From Him!

Remember, A Small Light Will Do A Great Deal When It Is In A Very Dark Place. Put One Little Tallow In The Middle Of A Large Hall, And It Will Give A Good Deal Of Light.

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. He Says If We Regard Iniquity In Our Hearts, He Will Not Hear Us, Much Less Answer. As Long As We Are Living In Any Known Sin, We Have No Power In Prayer. God Is Not Going To Hear It.

When I First Became A Christian I Thought I Would Be Glad When I Got Farther On, And Got Established. I Thought I Would Be So Strong And There Would Not Be Any Danger; But The Longer I Live, The More Danger I See There Is. The Only Hope Of Any Christian...is To Keep Hold Of Christ.
