More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
The manliness of Christian love, and the putting away from ourselves of all fear, because we are perfected in love, is one of the highest lessons that the gospel teaches us, and one of the greatest things which the gospel gives us.
Alexander MacLaren
That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Savior, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.
Alexander MacLaren
The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.
Alexander MacLaren
True peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God and will be deep and passing all understanding in the exact measure in which we live in and partake of the love of God.
Alexander MacLaren
If you would win the world, melt it, do not hammer it.
Alexander MacLaren
The grace of God, says Luther, is like a flying summer shower. It has fallen upon more than one land, and passed on. Judea had it, and lies barren and dry. These Asiatic coasts had it, and flung it away.
Alexander MacLaren
If God sends us on stony paths, He will provide us with strong shoes.
Alexander MacLaren
Trust Christ! and a great benediction of tranquil repose comes down upon the calm mind and the tranquil heart.
Alexander MacLaren
Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.
Alexander MacLaren
The Gospel is not a mere message of deliverance, but a canon of conduct it is not a theology to be accepted, but it is ethics to be lived. It is not to be believed only, but it is to be taken into life as a guide.
Alexander MacLaren
The apostolic church thought more about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ than about death and heaven. The early Christians were looking, not for a cleft in the ground called a grave but for a cleavage in the sky called Glory.
Alexander MacLaren
Love Christ, and then the eternity in the heart will not be a great aching void, but will be filled with the everlasting life which Christ gives and is.
Alexander MacLaren
The message of love can never come into a human soul, and pass away from it unreceived, without leaving that spirit worse, with all its lowest characteristics strengthened, and all its best ones depressed, by the fact of rejection.
Alexander MacLaren
Given a man full of faith, you will have a man tenacious in purpose, absorbed in one grand object, simple in his motives, in whom selfishness has been driven out by the power of a mightier love, and indolence stirred into unwearied energy.
Alexander MacLaren
No man loveth God except the man who has first learned that God loves him.
Alexander MacLaren
The more we work the more we need to pray. In this day of activity there is great danger, not of doing too much, but of praying too little for so much work.
Alexander MacLaren
The act of faith, which separates us from all men, unites us for the first time in real brotherhood and they who, one by one, come to Jesus and meet Him alone, next find that they are come to the city of God and to an innumerable company.
Alexander MacLaren
The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.
Alexander MacLaren
If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake.
Alexander MacLaren
While the agent of renovation is the Divine Spirit, and the condition of renovation is our cleaving to Christ, the medium of renovation and the weapon which the transforming grace employs is the word of the truth of the gospel, whereby we are sanctified.
