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.

More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
If you think that you can sin, and then by cries avert the consequences of sin, you insult God's character.
Frederick William Robertson
Brethren, happiness is not our being's end and aim. The Christian's aim is perfection, not happiness and every one of the sons of God must have something of that spirit which marked his Master.
Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.
Frederick William Robertson
God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.
Frederick William Robertson
On earth we have nothing to do with success or with results, but only with being true to God, and for God for it is sincerity, and not success, which is the sweet savor before God. The defeat of the true-hearted is victory.
Frederick William Robertson
In these two things the greatness of man consists, to have God dwelling in us as to impart His character to us, and to have Him dwelling in us, that we recognize His presence, and know that we are His, and He is ours. The one is salvation the other, the assurance of it.
Frederick William Robertson
In the darkest hour through which a human soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet even then it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward.
Frederick William Robertson
That prayer which does not succeed in moderating our wishes--in changing the passionate desire into still submission, the anxious, tumultuous expectation into silent surrender--is no true prayer, and proves that we have not the spirit of true prayer.
Frederick William Robertson
I read hard, or not at all never skimming, never turning aside to merely inciting books and Plato, Aristotle, Butler, Thucydides, Sterne, Jonathan Edwards, have passed like the iron atoms of the blood into my mental constitution.
Frederick William Robertson
By experience by a sense of human frailty by a perception of the soul of goodness in things evil by a cheerful trust in human nature by a strong sense of God's love by long and disciplined realization of the atoning love of Christ only thus can we get a free, manly, large, princely spirit of forgiveness.
Frederick William Robertson
A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon this earth for the cultivation of his noblest sensibilities.
Frederick William Robertson
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
He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
Frederick William Robertson
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
Frederick William Robertson
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.
Frederick William Robertson
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
Child of God, if you would have your thought of God something beyond a cold feeling of His presence, let faith appropriate Christ.
Frederick William Robertson
Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.
Frederick William Robertson
Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.
Frederick William Robertson
