Image
Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow as necessary as its inflow. If we do not perpetually draw the fresh supply from the living Fountain, we shall either grow stagnant or empty, It is, therefore, not so much a perpetual fullness as a perpetual filling.
A. B. Simpson
Image
The religion of the Bible is wholly supernatural.
A. B. Simpson
Image
I cannot understand how any man or woman can believe in the Lord's coming and not be a missionary, or at least committed to the work of missions with every power of his being.

Image
One bright and thankful look at the cross is worth a thousand morbid, self-condemning reflections.

Let us honor the Holy Ghost.

One of the first signs of a Spirit-filled life is enthusiasm!

Image
The Christian that is bound by his own horizon, the church that lives simply for itself, is bound to die a spiritual death and sink into stagnancy and corruption. We never can thank God enough for giving us not only a whole Gospel to believe, but a whole world to give it to.

Image
We must surrender ourselves so utterly that we can never own ourselves again. We must hand over self and all its rights in an eternal covenant, and give God the absolute right to own us, control us and possess us forever.

Image
As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want God, it is an idol.
A. B. Simpson
Image
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.

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.

Image
We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.

Image
Have we forgotten that there is a Holy Ghost, that we must insist upon walking on crutches when we might fly?

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
The safe place lies in obedience to God's Word, singleness of heart and holy vigilance.

Pray, always pray when sickness wastes thy frame, Prayer brings the healing power of Jesus' name.

Image
We begin life with the natural, next we come into the spiritual but then, when we have truly received the kingdom of God and His righteousness, the natural is added to the spiritual, and we are able to receive the gifts of His providence and the blessings of life without becoming centered in them or allowing them to separate us from Him.

Image
Our God has boundless resources. The only limit is in us. Our asking, our thinking, our praying are too small. Our expectations are too limited.

Image
Warning: we may become so enamored with God's good gifts that we fail to worship the Giver.

There are two ways of getting out of a trial. One is simply to try to get rid of the trial, and be thankful when it is over. The other is to recognize the trial as a challenge from God to claim a larger blessing than we have ever had, and to hail it with delight as an opportunity of obtaining a larger measure of divine grace.
