Lying Covers A Multitude Of Sins - Temporarily.

We Ought To See The Face Of God Every Morning Before We See The Face Of Man.

If We Have Christ With Us, We Can Do All Things. Let Us Not Be Thinking How Weak We Are. Let Us Lift Up Our Eyes To Him And Think Of Him As Our Elder Brother Who Has All Power Given To Him In Heaven And On Earth. He Says, 'lo, I Am With You Alway, Even Unto The End Of The World.'

I Tell You There Is One Thing That Draws Above Everything Else In This World, And That Is Love.

There Is No Harder Lesson For Man To Learn Than The Lesson Of Humility. It Is The Rarest Of All Gifts. It Is A Very Rare Thing To Find A Man Or Woman That Is Following Closely The Footsteps Of The Master In Meekness And Humility.

If This World Is Going To Be Reached, I Am Convinced That It Must Be Done By Men And Women Of Average Talent.

No Matter How Low Down You Are; No Matter What Your Disposition Has Been; You May Be Low In Your Thoughts, Words, And Actions; You May Be Selfish; Your Heart May Be Overflowing With Corruption And Wickedness; Yet Jesus Will Have Compassion Upon You. He Will Speak Comforting Words To You; Not Treat You Coldly Or Spurn You, As Perhaps Those Of Earth Would, But Will Speak Tender Words, And Words Of Love And Affection And Kindness. Just Come At Once. He Is A Faithful Friend - A Friend That Sticketh Closer Than A Brother.

A Man Can Counterfeit Love, He Can Counterfeit Faith, He Can Counterfeit Hope And All The Other Graces, But It Is Very Difficult To Counterfeit Humility.

Verily I Say Unto You, He That Heareth My Word And Believeth On Him That Sent Me, Hath Everlasting Life, And Shall Not Come Into Condemnation, But Is Passed From Death Unto Life." My Friend, That Is Worth More Than All The Feeling You Can Have In A Life-time.

The Dying Boy Said: " Father, Don't You Weep For Me; When I Get To Heaven I Will Go Straight To Jesus And Tell Him That Ever Since I Can Remember You Have Tried To Lead Me To Him." I Would Rather Have My Children Say That Of Me After I Am Gone; Or If They Die Before Me, I Would Rather They Should Take That Message To The Master Than To Have A Monument Over Me Reaching To The Skies.

If God Is Your Partner, Make Your Plans Big!

It Is Better To Be A Little Too Strict Than Too Liberal.

God Likes His People To Believe That There Is Nothing Too Hard For Him...we Are All The Time Limiting God's Power By Our Own Ideas. Let Us Get Our Eyes Off One Another And Fix Them Upon God. There Is Nothing To Hard For Him.

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

If Our Circumstances Find Us In God, We Shall Find God In All Our Circumstances.

Faith Takes God Without Any Ifs. If God Says Anything, Faith Says, "i Believe It"; Faith Says, "amen" To It.

In Our Prayers, We Talk To God, In Our Bible Study, God Talks To Us, And We Had Better Let God Do Most Of The Talking.

If You Were To Spend A Month Feeding On The Precious Promises Of God, You Would Not Be Going About With Your Heads Hanging Down Like Bulrushes, Complaining How Poor You Are; But You Would Lift Up Your Heads With Confidence, And Proclaim The Riches Of His Grace Because You Could Not Help It.

When A Man Gets Up So High (spiritual Mountaintop) That He Cannot Reach Down And Save Poor Sinners, There Is Something Wrong.

Character Is What You Do In The Dark.

The Resurrection Is The Keystone Of The Arch On Which Our Faith Is Supported. If Christ Has Not Risen, We Must Impeach All Those Witnesses For Lying. If Christ Has Not Risen, We Have No Proof That The Crucifixion Of Jesus Differed From That Of The Two Thieves Who Suffered With Him. If Christ Has Not Risen, It Is Impossible To Believe His Atoning Death Was Accepted.

It Is The Greatest Pleasure Of Living To Win Souls To Christ.

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.

Earth Recedes, Heaven Opens Before Me. If This Is Death, It Is Sweet! There Is No Valley Here. God Is Calling Me, And I Must Go.

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.

The Spirit Of God First Imparts Love; He Next Inspires Hope, And Then Gives Liberty; And That Is About The Last Thing We Have In A Good Many Of Our Churches At The Present Time.

The Measure Of A Man Is Not How Many Servants He Has But How Many Men He Serves .

Measure Of A Man

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.

I Firmly Believe That The Moment Our Hearts Are Emptied Of Pride And Selfishness And Ambition And Self-seeking And Every Thing That Is Contrary To God's Law, The Holy Ghost Will Come And Fill Every Corner Of Our Hearts; But If We Are Full Of Pride And Conceit And Ambition And Self-seeking And Pleasure And The World, There Is No Room For The Spirit Of God; And I Believe Many A Man Is Praying To God To Fill Him When He Is Full Already With Something Else.

Death May Be The King Of Terrors... But Jesus Is The King Of Kings!

Happiness Is Caused By Things That Happen Around Me, And Circumstances Will Mar It; But Joy Flows Right On Through Trouble; Joy Flows In The Night As Well As In The Day; Joy Flows Through Persecution And Opposition. It Is An Unceasing Fountain Bubbling Up In The Heart; A Secret Spring The World Can't See And Doesn't Know Anything About.

Christ Never Preached Any Funeral Sermons.

There Cannot Be Any Peace Where There Is Uncertainty.

Right Now I'm Having So Much Trouble With D.l. Moody That I Don't Have Time To Find Fault With The Other Fellow.

You Can Always Tell When A Man Is A Great Ways From God--he Is Always Talking About Himself, How Good He Is. But The Moment He Sees God By The Eye Of Faith, He Is Down On His Knees, And, Like Job, He Cries, "behold I Am Vile.

A Great Many People Are Trying To Make Peace, But That Has Already Been Done. God Has Not Left It For Us To Do; All We Have To Do Is To Enter Into It.

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.

God Has Nothing To Say To The Self-righteous.

Some Say If Only My Fears And Doubts Will Leave Then I Will Get To Work. But Instead You Should Get To Work And Then Your Fears And Doubts Will Leave.

When A Man Is Not Deeply Convicted Of Sin, It Is A Pretty Sure Sign That He Has Not Truly Repented. Experience Has Taught Me That Men Who Have Very Slight Conviction Of Sin Sooner Or Later Lapse Back Into Their Old Life.

Thanks Be To God, There Is Hope To-day; This Very Hour You Can Choose Him And Serve Him.

Never Think That Jesus Commanded A Trifle, Nor Dare To Trifle With Anything He Has Commanded.

God Will Not Accept A Divided Heart. He Must Be Absolute Monarch. There Is Not Room In Your Heart For Two Thrones. You Cannot Mix The Worship Of The True God With The Worship Of Any Other God More Than You Can Mix Oil And Water. It Cannot Be Done. There Is Not Room For Any Other Throne In The Heart If Christ Is There. If Worldliness Should Come In, Godliness Would Go Out.

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.

It Is A Wonderful Fact That Men And Women Saved By The Blood Of Jesus Rarely Remain Subjects Of Charity, But Rise At Once To Comfort And Respectability... I Never Saw A Man Who Put Christ First In His Life That Wasn't Successful.

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.

Depend Upon It, As Long As The Church Is Living So Much Like The World, We Cannot Expect Our Children To Be Brought Into The Fold.

When I Was A Young Man I Heard Henry Barley Say That The World Has Yet To See What God Can Do For A Man Fully Yielded To Him, And I Said I Wanted To Be That Man. But I Can Say Today The World Has Yet To See What God Can Do With A Man Fully Yielded To Him.

I Believe Hundreds Of Christian People Are Being Deceived By Satan Now On This Point, That They Have Not Got The Assurance Of Salvation Just Because They Are Not Willing To Take God At His Word.

Some Men’s Prayers Need To Be Cut Short At Both Ends And Set On Fire In The Middle.

'faith Cometh By Hearing And Hearing By The Word Of God' (rom. 10:17). That Is Whence Faith Comes. It Is Not For Me To Sit Down And Wait For Faith To Come Stealing Over Me With A Strong Sensation, But Is For Me To Take God At His Word.

After We Have Made Our Requests Known To Him, Our Language Should Be, "thy Will Be Done". I Would A Thousand Times Rather That Gods' Will Should Be Done Than My Own.

Next To The Wonder Of Seeing My Savior Will Be, I Think, The Wonder That I Made So Little Use Of The Power Of Prayer.

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.

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.

Real True Faith Is Man's Weakness Leaning On God's Strength.

Attitudes Determine Our Actions, For Good Or Bad.

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.

You Might As Well Try To Hear Without Ears Or Breathe Without Lungs, As To Try To Live A Christian Life Without The Spirit Of God In Your Heart.

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.

We Ought To Be Prepared To Pass Around Heavenly Thoughts And Truths, Just As We Do The Coin Of The Realm.

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.

Grace Means Undeserved Kindness. It Is The Gift Of God To Man The Moment He Sees He Is Unworthy Of God's Favor.

If We Do Not Commend The Gospel To People By Our Holy Walk And Conversation, We Shall Not Win Them To Christ. Some Little Act Of Kindness Will Perhaps Do More To Influence Them Than Any Number Of Long Sermons.

Preparation For Old Age Should Begin Not Later Than One's Teens. A Life Which Is Empty Of Purpose Until 65 Will Not Suddenly Become Filled On Retirement.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
