More quotes by William Booth
I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
William Booth
No sort of defense is needed for preaching outdoors, but it would take a very strong argument to prove that a man who has never preached beyond the walls of his meetinghouse has done his duty. A defense is required for services within buildings rather than for worship outside of them.
William Booth
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
William Booth
Some of my best men are women!
William Booth
While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight.
William Booth
Before we go to our knees to receive the Baptism of Fire, let me beg of you to see to it that your souls are in harmony with the will and purpose of the Holy Spirit whom you seek.
William Booth
What is the use of preaching the Gospel to men whose whole attention is concentrated upon a mad, desperate struggle to keep themselves alive?
William Booth
God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
William Booth
... you cannot make a man clean [simply] by washing his shirt.
William Booth
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.
William Booth
I am for the world's salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help.
William Booth
If I thought I could win one more soul to the Lord by walking on my head and playing the tambourine with my toes, I'd learn how!
William Booth
Good cookery is not an extravagance but an economy, and many a tasty dish is made by our Continental friends out of materials which would be discarded indignantly by the poorest tramp in Whitechapel.
William Booth
It is against stupidity in every shape and form that we have to wage our eternal battle. But how can we wonder at the want of sense on the part of those who have had no advantages, when we see such plentiful absence of that commodity on the part of those who have had all the advantages?
William Booth
You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.
William Booth
There is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.
William Booth
Without excuse and self-consideration of health or limb or life, true soldiers fight, live to fight, love the thickest of the fight, and die in the midst of it.
William Booth
I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me.
William Booth
Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.
William Booth
Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works and then faith again, and then works again--until they can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.
William Booth
