More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
There can be no faith so feeble that Christ does not respond to it.
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
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
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
The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.
Alexander MacLaren
Duty is duty, conscience is conscience, right is right, and wrong is wrong, whatever sized type they may be printed in. Large or small are not words for the vocabulary of conscience.
Alexander MacLaren
Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint, and no representation is true to fact which dips its pencil only in light, and flings no shadows on the canvas.
Alexander MacLaren
Be sure that your soul is never so intensely alive as when in the deepest abnegation it waits hushed before God .
Alexander MacLaren
Love is the foundation of all obedience.
Alexander MacLaren
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
The never-ceasing boom of the great ocean as it breaks on the beach, drowns all smaller sounds.
Alexander MacLaren
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
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
You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation.
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
Faith refers to Christ. Holiness depends on faith. Heaven depends on holiness.
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 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
He who has the Holy Spirit in His heart and the Scripture in his hands has all he needs.
Alexander MacLaren
There is one thing that makes life mighty in its veriest trifles, worthy in its smallest deeds, that delivers it from monotony, that delivers it from insignificance. All will be great, nothing will be overpowering, when, living in communion with Jesus Christ, we say as He says, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me.
