God does not give us ready money. He issues promissory notes, and then pays them at the throne. Each one of us has a check-book.

More quotes by Theodore L. Cuyler
God sometimes washes the eyes of His children with tears in order that they may read aright His providence and His commandments.
Theodore L. Cuyler
The demand of the day is for a higher standard and style of Christian life. Every follower of Christ must represent His religion purely, loftily, impressively, before that multitude of Bible-readers whose only Bible is the Christian.
Theodore L. Cuyler
For a few brief days the orchards are white with blossoms. They soon turn to fruit, or else float away, useless and wasted, upon the idle breeze. So will it be with present feelings. They must be deepened into decision, or be entirely dissipated by delay.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Exalt the Cross! God has hung the destiny of the race upon it. Other things we may do in the realm of ethics, and on the lines of philanthropic reforms but our main duty converges into setting that one glorious beacon of salvation, Calvary's Cross, before the gaze of every immortal soul.
Theodore L. Cuyler
I never yet have heard of a good man having fallen when he was trying to do Christ's will and trusting on Christ's help. Every fall without one exception came from venturing upon sinful ground or from venturing upon self-support.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Tears never yet saved a soul. Hell is full of weepers weeping over lost opportunities, perhaps over the rejection of an offered Saviour. Your Bible does not say, Weep, and be saved. It says, Believe, and be saved. Faith is better than feeling.
Theodore L. Cuyler
It is the easiest thing in the world to obey God when He commands us to do what we like, and to trust Him when the path is all sunshine. The real victory of faith is to trust God in the dark, and through the dark.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Conversion by the Holy Spirit is a spiritual illumination of the soul. God's grace lights up the dark heart. And when a man has once been kindled at the cross of Christ, he is bound to shine.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Repentance, to be of any avail, must work a change of heart and conduct.
Theodore L. Cuyler
A large portion of Christ's miracles of love were wrought at the urgent request of parents for their suffering children. Is that ear gone deaf to-day? Will He not do for our children's souls what He did for the bodies of the ruler's daughter, and the dead youth at Nain?
Theodore L. Cuyler
It will require more than a few hours of fasting and prayer to cast out such demons as selfishness, worldliness, and unbelief. Repentance, to be of any avail, must work a change of heart and of conduct.
Theodore L. Cuyler
God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.
Theodore L. Cuyler
As a child walking over a slippery and dangerous path cries out, Father, I am falling! and has but a moment to catch his father's hand, so every believer sees hours when only the hand of Jesus comes between him and the abysses of destruction.
Theodore L. Cuyler
When you and I are inclined to nestle down in indolence and self indulgence. God stirs up our nests and bids us fly upward.
Theodore L. Cuyler
The most heaven-like spots I have ever visited, have been certain rooms in which Christ's disciples were awaiting the summons of death. So far from being a house of mourning, I have often found such a house to be a vestibule of glory.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Know what your sin is and confess it but do not imagine that you have approved yourself a penitent by confessing sin in the abstract.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Faith is trusting Jesus to lead us and going where He leads. What avails it to me to analyze Saratoga water, and to believe in its virtues? I must drink the water if I want its purifying power. And the soul that has not actually drunk of Christ can never be purged from sin.
Theodore L. Cuyler
The firmament of the Bible is ablaze with answers to prayer.
Theodore L. Cuyler
Conversion is the act of joining our hands to the pierced hand of the crucified Saviour. The new life begins with the taking of Christ's hand, and His taking hold, in infinite love, of our weak hands.
Theodore L. Cuyler
The Christian who will sit with sealed lips when his Master is assailed, when religion is attacked, when wickedness is broached and defended, when truth is denounced, is a denier of his Lord, as guilty as Simon Peter in Pilate's hall.
Theodore L. Cuyler
