It Is A Masterpiece Of The Devil To Make Us Believe That Children Cannot Understand Religion. Would Christ Have Made A Child The Standard Of Faith If He Had Known That It Was Not Capable Of Understanding His Words?

Character Is What You Do In The Dark.

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.

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

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.

We May Easily Be Too Big For God To Use, But Never Too Small.

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.

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.

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

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

The Bible Was Not Given For Our Information But For Our Transformation.

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. He Will Have Outshone All The Mighty Men Of His Day, Because He Will Have Set A Stream In Motion That Will Flow On And On Forever And Ever.

He Is The Rock, His Work Is Perfect: For All His Ways Are Judgment: A God Of Truth And Without Iniquity, Just And Right Is He.

If A Man Just Stops To Think What He Has To Praise God For, He Will Find There Is Enough To Keep Him Singing Praises For A Week.

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 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.

Faith Makes All Things Possible... Love Makes All Things Easy.

Every Time You Walk A Mile To Church And Carry A Bible With You, You Preach A Sermon A Mile Long.

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.

And Are There None Whom You Promised Once To Meet Again, If Not On Earth, In Heaven?

Prayer Does Not Mean That I Am To Bring God Down To My Thoughts And My Purposes, And Bend His Government According To My Foolish, Silly, And Sometimes Sinful Notions.

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.

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.
