Quote

You reap what you sow — not something else, but that. An act of love makes the soul more loving. A deed of humbleness deepens humbleness. The thing reaped is the very thing sown, multiplied a hundred fold. You have sown a seed of life, you reap life everlasting.

Frederick William Robertson

It is not the number of books you read nor the variety of sermons which you hear nor the amount of religious conversation in which you mix: but it is the frequency and the earnestness with which you meditate on these things, till the truth which may be in them becomes your own, and part of your own being, that ensures your spiritual growth.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.

What the world calls virtue is a name and a dream without Christ. The foundation of all human excellence must be laid deep in the blood of the Redeemer's cross, and in the power of His resurrection.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
It is not by change of circumstances, but by fitting our spirits to the circumstances in which God has placed us, that we can be reconciled to life and duty.

Image
Only what coronation is in an earthly way, baptism is in a heavenly way God's authoritative declaration in material form of a spiritual reality.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Two thousand years ago there was One here on this earth who lived the grandest life that ever has been lived yet - a life that every thinking man, with deeper or shallower meaning, has agreed to call divine.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Heaven begun is the living proof that makes the heaven to come credible. Christ in you is the hope of glory. It is the eagle eye of faith which penetrates the grave, and sees far into the tranquil things of death. He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
It is more true to say that our opinions depend upon our lives and habits, than to say that our lives and habits depend on our opinions.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
As the tree is fertilized by its own broken branches and fallen leaves, and grows out of its own decay, so men and nations are bettered and improved by trial, and refined out of broken hopes and blighted expectations.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
I will tell you what to hate. Hate hypocrisy, hate cant, hate indolence, oppression, injustice hate Pharisaism hate them as Christ hated them with a deep, living, godlike hatred.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Marriage is not a union merely between two creatures - it is a union between two spirits and the intention of that bond is to perfect the nature of both.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
To grieve over sin is one thing, to repent is another.

There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Christ's miracles were vivid manifestations to the senses that He is the Saviour of the body--and now as then the issues of life and death are in His hands--that our daily existence is a perpetual miracle. The extraordinary was simply a manifestation of God's power in the ordinary.
Frederick William Robertson
Image
Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.
Frederick William Robertson

This is the ministry and its work--not to drill hearts and minds and consciences into right forms of thought and mental postures, but to guide to the living God who speaks.
