The Trouble With A Great Many Men Is That They Spread Themselves Out Over Too Much Ground. They Fail In Everything.

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.

Where One Man Reads The Bible, A Hundred Read You And Me.

What We Want Is Men With A Little Courage To Stand Up For Christ.

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, It Is Impossible To Believe His Atoning Death Was Accepted.

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.

It Is A Good Deal Better To Have Life In Christ And God Than Any Where Else. I Would Rather Have My Life Hid With Christ In God Than Be In Eden As Adam Was. Adam Might Have Remained In Paradise For 16,000 Years, And Then Fallen, But If Ours Is Hid In Christ, How Safe!

In Proverbs We Read: 'he That Winneth Souls Is Wise.' If Any Man, Women, Or Child By A Godly Life And Example Can Win One Soul To God, His Life Will Not Have Been A Failure.

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.

A Great Many People Wonder Why It Was That Christ Did Not Come At Once To Martha And Mary, Whom He Loved, Whenever He Heard Of Their Affliction. It Was To Try Them, And It Is The Same With His Dealings Toward Us. If He Seems Not To Come To Us In Our Affliction, It Is Only To Test Us.

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.

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

Christ Came Down To Save Us From A Terrible Hell, And Any Man Who Is Cast Down To Hell From Here Must Go In The Full Blaze Of The Gospel, And Over The Mangled Body Of The Son Of God.

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 Best Way To Revive A Church Is To Build A Fire In The Pulpit.

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.

When God Gave Christ To This World, He Gave The Best He Had, And He Wants Us To Do The Same.

Attitudes Determine Our Actions, For Good Or Bad.

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.

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.

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?

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.

If We Have Got The True Love Of God Shed Abroad In Our Hearts, We Will Show It In Our Lives. We Will Not Have To Go Up And Down The Earth Proclaiming It. We Will Show It In Everything We Say Or Do.

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.

Salvation Is Worth Working For. It Is Worth A Man's Going Round The World On His Hands And Knees, Climbing Its Mountains, Crossing Its Valleys, Swimming Its Rivers, Going Through All Manner Of Hardship In Order To Attain It. But We Do Not Get It In That Way. It Is To Him Who Believes.

I Am Walking Toward A Bright Light And The Nearer I Get The Brighter It Is.

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.

Fervency In Prayer By The Power Of The Holy Spirit Is A Good Preservative Against Thoughts Rushing In. Flies Never Settle On The Boiling Pot.

Man Is Born With His Face Turned Away From God. When He Truly Repents, He Is Turned Right Round Toward God; He Leaves His Old Life.

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

If You Have So Much Business To Attend To That You Have No Time To Pray, Depend Upon It That You Have More Business On Hand Than God Ever Intended You Should Have.

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.

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

The Grand Question Of Life Is, Is My Name Written In Heaven?

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.

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

If The Savior Could Die For The World, Can't We Work For It?
