The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.
christian men desire
The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord's work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.
christian believe men
I believe many a man is praying to God to fill him, when he is full already with something else. Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.

Those who say they will forgive but can't forget, simply bury the hatchet but leave the handle out for immediate use.
humility men grace
A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.

When we find a man meditating on the words of God, my friends, that man is full of boldness and is successful.

It is easier for me to have faith in the Bible than to have faith in D.L. Moody, for Moody has failed me lots of times.

Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.

If you can really make a man believe you love him, you have won him; and if I could only make people really believe that God loves them, what a rush we would see for the kingdom of God!

Attitudes determine our actions, for good or bad.
christian people trying
A great many people wonder why it was that Christ did not come at once to Martha and Mary, whom He loved, whenever He heard of their affliction. It was to try them, and it is the same with His dealings toward us. If He seems not to come to us in our affliction, it is only to test us.
integrity knowledge men
I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met.
