More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
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
Our work, abiding, shall bring to us the endless glory with which God at last overpays the toils, even as now He overanswers the poor prayers of His laboring servants.
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
The gospel is not speculation but fact. It is truth, because it is the record of a person who is the Truth.
Alexander MacLaren
Kindness does not require us to be blind to facts or to live in fancies, but it does require us to cherish a habit of goodwill, ready to show pity if sorrow appears, and slow to turn away even if hostility appears.
Alexander MacLaren
He who has the Holy Spirit in His heart and the Scripture in his hands has all he needs.
Alexander MacLaren
Being in Christ, it is safe to forget the past it is possible to be sure of the future it is possible to be diligent in the present.
Alexander MacLaren
That is faith, cleaving to Christ, twining round Him with all the tendrils of our heart, as the vine does round its support.
Alexander MacLaren
Faith refers to Christ. Holiness depends on faith. Heaven depends on holiness.
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
Conflict, not progress, is the word that defines man's path from darkness into light. No holiness is won by any other means than this, that wickedness should be slain day by day, and hour by hour.
Alexander MacLaren
If life has not made you by God's grace, through faith, holy--think you, will death without faith do it? The cold waters of that narrow stream are no purifying bath in which you may wash and be clean. No! no! as you go down into them, you will come up from them.
Alexander MacLaren
All things and all acts and this whole wonderful universe proclaim to us the Lord our Father, Christ our love, Christ our hope, our portion, and our joy. Oh, brethren, if you would know the meaning of the world, read Christ in it. If you would see the beauty of earth, take it for a prophet of something higher than itself.
Alexander MacLaren
The vision of the Divine presence ever takes the form which our circumstances most require.
Alexander MacLaren
Love is the foundation of all obedience.
Alexander MacLaren
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.
Alexander MacLaren
Embrace in one act the two truths-thine own sin, and God's infinite mercy in Jesus Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
Every sin is a mistake, as well as a wrong and the epitaph for the sinner is, Thou fool!
Alexander MacLaren
Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.
Alexander MacLaren
Turn your confidence and your fears alike into prayer.
Alexander MacLaren
