Most Christians would like to send their recruits to Bible college for five years. I would like to send them to hell for five minutes. That would do more than anything else to prepare them for a lifetime of compassionate ministry.

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
Image
While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!

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
Image
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
Image
Don't instill, or allow anybody else to instill into the hearts of your girls the idea that marriage is the chief end of life. If you do, don't be surprised if they get engaged to the first empty, useless fool they come across.
William Booth
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
William Booth
Image
There is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.
