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.

More quotes by Theodore L. Cuyler
Precious Saviour! come in spirit, and lay Thy strong, gentle grasp of love on our dear boys and girls, and keep these our lambs from the fangs of the wolf.
Theodore L. Cuyler
We never can create a public sentiment strong enough to suppress the dram-shops until God's people take hold of the temperance reform as a part of their religion.
Theodore L. Cuyler
In heaven, knowledge shall be commensurate with the enlarged powers of the glorified soul.
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
Oh, my soul! why art thou so often disquieted within thee? How is it that thou hast so little faith? Wilt thou never learn that Jesus has even the least of His little boats always under His watchful eye, and all the winds and the waves obey Him?
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
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
God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.
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
Blessed be the discipline which makes me reach out my soul's roots into closer union with Jesus! Blessed be the dews of the Spirit which keep my leaf ever green! Blessed be the trials which shake down the ripe, golden fruits from the branches.
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
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
A genuine revival means a trimming of personal lamps.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
