More quotes by 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 prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.
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 cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?
Alexander MacLaren
The world takes its notions of God from the people who say that they belong to God's family. They read us a great deal more than they read the Bible. They see us they only hear about Jesus Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
Trust yourselves, my brethren, to the immortal love and perfect work of the Divine Saviour, and by His dear might your days will advance by peaceful stages, whereof each gathers up and carries forward the blessings of all that went before, to a death which shall be a birth.
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
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.
Alexander MacLaren
To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty.
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 cross is the centre of the world's history the incarnation of Christ and the crucifiction of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve. The testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy, and the growing power of Jesus is the spirit of history
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 never-ceasing boom of the great ocean as it breaks on the beach, drowns all smaller sounds.
Alexander MacLaren
Turn your confidence and your fears alike into prayer.
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.
Alexander MacLaren
Ah, there is nothing more beautiful than the difference between the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a holy being, and the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a self-righteous being. The one is all contempt the other, all pity.
Alexander MacLaren
Only he who can say, 'The Lord is the strength of my life' can go on to say, 'Of whom shall I be afraid?'
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
Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.
Alexander MacLaren
Faith refers to Christ. Holiness depends on faith. Heaven depends on holiness.
