Image
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
Image
All that this world knows of living lies in giving - and more giving He that keeps, be sure he loses -Friendship grows by what it uses.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
Don't waste your sorrows
Alexander MacLaren
Image
We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Christ wrought out His perfect obedience as a man, through temptation, and by suffering.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Christ's voice sounds now for each of us in loving invitation and dead in sin and hardness of heart though we be, we can listen and live. Christ Himself, my brother, sows the seed now. Do you take care that it falls not on, but in, your souls.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
He that has his trust set upon God does not need to dread anything except the weakening or the paralyzing of that trust.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
True faith, by a mighty effort of the will, fixes its gaze on our Divine Helper, and there finds it possible and wise to lose its fears. It is madness to say, I will not be afraid it is wisdom and peace to say, I will trust and not be afraid.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
Let the current of your being set towards God, then your life will be filled and calmed by one master-passion which unites and stills the soul.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
A living man must have a living God, or his soul will perish in the midst of earthly plenty, and will thirst and die whilst the water of earthly delights is running all around him. We are made to need persons not things.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty, without thinking of joy, and then, like sheep, it comes most surely unsought, and we 'being in the way,' the angel of God, bright-haired joy, is sure to meet us.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Here is the manliness of manhood, that a man has a good reason for what he does, and has a will in doing it.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Faith is the sight of the inward eye.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Life should be a constant vision of God's presence. Here is our defense against being led away by the gauds and shows of earth's vulgar attractions.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
God keeps giving Himself as long as we bring that into which He can pour Himself. And when we stop bringing, He stops giving.

My child, wilt thou not at this time cry unto me, 'Abba, Father?'
