Catherine Booth quotes about
people ministry may
God forbid that I should ever teach any adaptation of the Gospel. But I contend that we may serve it up in any sort of dish that will induce the people to partake of it
christian religion church
And we find from Church history that the primitive Christians thus understood it; for that women did actually speak and preach amongst them we have indisputable proof.
law forever christ
If Christ cannot supersede the Law, then I am lost, and lost forever.
giving way conquer
Do not give way to lowness while you are young. Rise up on the strength of God and resolve to conquer.
destiny earth made
We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.
believe gods-will dont-believe
I don't believe in any religion apart from doing the will of God.
animal men vegetables
It is a great delusion to suppose that flesh-meat of any kind is essential to health. Considerably more than three parts of the work in the world is done by men who never taste anything but vegetable, farinaceous food, and that of the simplest kind. There are more strength-producing properties in wholemeal flour, peas, beans, lentils, oatmeal, roots, and other vegetables of the same class, than there are beef or mutton, poultry or fish, or animal food of any description whatever.
real expectations inseparable
Faith is inseparable from expectations. Where there is real faith, there is always expectation.
people principles hearing
Here is the principle - adapt your measures to the necessity of the people to whom you minister. You are to take the Gospel to them in such modes and circumstances as will gain for it from them a hearing.
improving disturbing
There is no improving the future without disturbing the present.
running men soul
Cast off all bonds of prejudice and custom, and let the love of Christ, which is in you, have free course to run out in all conceivable schemes and methods of labour for the souls of men.
real war soldier
A barracks is meant to be a place where real soldiers were to be fed and equipped for war, not a place to settle down in or as a comfortable snuggery in which to enjoy ourselves. I hope that if ever they, our soldiers, do settle down God will burn their barracks over their heads!
waiting waiting-for-you world
You are not here in the world for yourself. You have been sent here for others. The world is waiting for you!
song sweet prayer
Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don't wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work - to wake people up.
