A believing man will be a zealous man. Faith makes a man zealous. Faith shows itself by zeal. Not by zeal for a party or a system or an opinion but by zeal for Christ - zeal for His church - zeal for the carrying on of His work on earth.

The believed gospel saves but it is the believed promise that assures us of this salvation.

It is easier to speak about revival than to set about it.

In religion faith does not spring out of feeling, but feeling out of faith. The less we feel the more we should trust. We cannot feel right till we have believed.

The more fully that the gospel is preached, in the grand old apostolic way, the more likely is it to accomplish the results which it did in the apostolic days.

Do not heed the jar of man's warring opinions. Let God be true and every man a liar. The Bible is the Bible still. If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God. You have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.
Horatius Bonar
Image
Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon! Love, rest, and home-- Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come!
Horatius Bonar
Image
Faith does not come to Calvary to do anything. It comes to see the glorious spectacle of all things done, and to accept this completion without a misgiving as to its efficacy. It listens to the It is finished! of the Sin-bearer, and says, Amen.

Less, less of self each day, And more, my God, of Thee!
Horatius Bonar
Image
In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously. In one single quiet hour of prayer it will often make more progress than in days of company with others. It is in the desert that the dew falls freshest and the air its purest.
Horatius Bonar

Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be lead me by thine own hand choose out the path for me.

I looked for the church and I found it in the world I looked for the world and I found it in the church.

All unbelief is the belief of a lie.

It is to the dead that the life comes it is to the unloveable that the love comes it is to the lost that the salvation comes.

A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.
Horatius Bonar

The gospel comes to the sinner at once with nothing short of complete forgiveness as the starting-point of all his efforts to be holy. It does not say, Go and sin no more, and I will not condemn thee. It says at once, Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.
