Often we want people to pray for us and help us, but we always defeat our object when we look too much to them and lean upon them. The true secret of union is for both to look upon God, and in the act of looking past themselves to Him they are unconsciously united.

We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.
A. B. Simpson
Image
All earth-born hopes with time must pass away prayer grasps eternal things pray, always pray.

If God's Word is not absolutely and completely true, it is too weak a cable to fix our anchorage and guarantee our eternal peace.

Image
There is no wonder more supernatural and divine in the life of a believer than the mystery and ministry of prayer...the hand of the child touching the arm of the Father and moving the wheel of the universe.

Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.

We may not preach a crucified Savior without being also crucified men and women. It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration. The cross that Paul speaks about was burned into his very flesh, was branded into his being, and only the Holy Spirit can burn the true cross into our innermost life.

You will have no test of faith that will not fit you to be a blessing if you are obedient to the Lord. I never had a trial but when I got out of the deep river I found some poor pilgrim on the bank that I was able to help by that very experience.

I like to interpose in all of my appointments, if the Lord wills.

The sanctified body is one whose hands are clean. The stain of dishonesty is not on them, the withering blight of ill-gotten gain has not blistered them, the mark of violence is not found upon them. They have been separated from every occupation that could displease God or injure a fellow-man.

When God wants to bring more power into our lives., He brings more pressure. He is generating spiritual force by friction.

Image
The Christian is not obedient unless he is doing all in his power to send the Gospel to the heathen world.

Image
God is preparing his heroes and when the opportunity comes, he can fit them into their places in a moment, and the world will wonder where they came from.

Image
We must never forget that Christ did not suffer just during His three years of public ministry or the last few days of His life when He was crucified. No, He suffered throughout His life on earth. He who was without sin lived daily with the corruption and sinfulness of lost humanity.

Image
The Holy Spirit is just as truly in us when He makes no sign as when the fountains of joy are overflowing, or the waters of peace are softly refreshing our weary and troubled heart.

Image
I would rather play with forked lightning, or take in my hand living wires with their fiery current, than to speak a reckless word against any servant of Christ, or idly repeat the slanderous darts which thousands of Christians are hurling on others, to the hurt of their own souls and bodies.

Your words and wishes are cheap if they do not find expression in your actual gifts.

Image
The human body has been called the microcosm of the universe, a little world of wonders and a monument of divine wisdom and power, sufficient to convince the most incredulous mind of the existence of the Great Designer.

Be brave. Cowards always get hurt. Brave men generally come out unharmed.
