The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.

The Christian man must aim at that complete obedience to God in which life finds its highest happiness, its greatest good, its perfect consummation, its peace.

There is a time when to avoid trouble is to store up trouble, and when to seek for a lazy and a cowardly peace is to court a still greater danger.

True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.

We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.

It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.

Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.

The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.

The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.

Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.

Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.

Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.

Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ; it is also commitment to his demands.

Prayer will never do our work for us; what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.

True prayer is asking God what He wants.

The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.

Christian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like; it means being free to do as we ought.

There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.

The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
