Your days at the most cannot be very long, so use them to the best of your ability for the glory of God and the benefit of your generation.

If there is anything of power in The Salvation Army today, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.

Look! Don't be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!

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.

Will you go to His feet and place yourself entirely at His disposal?

God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.

You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.

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.
