"Let God be true but every man a liar" is the language of true faith |
An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand |
Every man is as holy as he really wants to be. |
I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services. |
Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leane |
Let no one imagine he will lose anything of human dignity by this voluntary sell-out of his all to God. |
Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle |

No act is wise that ignores remote consequences, and sin always does. |
The best book is not one that informs merely, but one that stirs the reader up to inform himself. |
The Bible was written in tears and to tears it will yield its best treasures. God has nothing to say to the frivolous man. |
The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. |
The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none. |
The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions |
The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. |
