You must cast yourself on God's gospel with all your weight, without any hanging back, without any doubt, without even the shadow of a suspicion that it will give.

More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.
Alexander MacLaren
Remember that vision on the Mount of Transfiguration and let it be ours, even in the glare of earthly joys and brightnesses, to lift up our eyes, like those wondering three, and see no man any more, save Jesus only.
Alexander MacLaren
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
Surely Scripture is right when it makes the sin of sins that unbelief, which is at bottom nothing else than a refusal to take the cup of salvation. Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated.
Alexander MacLaren
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
The hand that holds the seven stars is as loving as the hand that was laid in blessing upon the little children the face that is as the sun shining in its strength beams with as much love as when it drew publicans and harlots to His feet. The breast that is girt with the golden girdle is the same breast upon which John leaned his happy head.
Alexander MacLaren
Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction.
Alexander MacLaren
Christ wrought out His perfect obedience as a man, through temptation, and by suffering.
Alexander MacLaren
Turn your confidence and your fears alike into prayer.
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
Heaven is endless longing, accompanied with an endless fruition-a longing which is blessedness, a longing which is life.
Alexander MacLaren
The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?
Alexander MacLaren
In heaven after ages of ages of growing glory, we shall have to say, as each new wave of the shoreless, sunlit sea bears us onward, It doth not yet appear what we shall be.
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
Unbelief is criminal because it is a moral act, an act of the whole nature.-Belief or unbelief is a test of a man's whole spiritual condition, because it is the whole being, affections, will, conscience, as well as the understanding, which are concerned in it.
Alexander MacLaren
Why should we live halfway up the hill and swathed in the mists, when we might have an unclouded sky and a radiant sun over our heads if we would climb higher and walk in the light of His face?
Alexander MacLaren
Nothing but Christian faith gives to the furthest future the solidity and definiteness which it must have if it is to be a breakwater for us against the fluctuating sea of present cares and thoughts.
Alexander MacLaren
Logically, faith comes first, and love next but in life they will spring up together in the soul the interval which separates them is impalpable, and in every act of trust, love is present and fundamental to every emotion of love to Christ is trust in Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
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
You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation.
Alexander MacLaren
