jesus believe giving
Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!
teeth lips sermons
The most effective sermons are those which make opposers of the Gospel bite their lips and gnash their teeth.
lying integrity sin
Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.
heaven his-love earth
Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
believe atonement wide
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
teaching thinking hands
I am content to live and die as the mere repeater of Scriptural teaching - as a person who has thought out nothing and invented nothing - but who concluded that he was to take the message from the lips of God to the best of his ability and simply to be a mouth for God to the people. - mourning much that anything of his own should come between - but never thinking that he was somehow to refine the message or to adapt it to the brilliance of this wonderful century and then to hand it out as being so much his own that he might take some share of the glory of it.
thinking soul suffering
Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.

I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.

Obedience is the highest practical courage.
sweet jesus father
It is sweet to remember that the exaltation of Christ in heaven is a representative exaltation. He is exalted at the Father's right hand, and though as Jehovah He had eminent glories, in which finite creatures cannot share, yet as the Mediator, the honours which Jesus wears in heaven are the heritage of all the saints. It is delightful to reflect how close is Christ's union with His people. We are actually one with Him; we are members of His body; and His exaltation is our exaltation.
world lines facts
Christ is the great central fact in the world's history. To Him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon Him.
men may deny
Every man who loses everlasting life rejects it himself. God denies it not to him-he will not come that he may have life.
sweet light ministers
Light physical is said by Solomon to be sweet, but gospel light is infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers to our immortal natures.
acceptable sermons
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
