What They Said

"There is no cross or misery that befalls the church of God or any of His children, but it is related to God"

"Christ is to the souls of men what the sun is to the world.  He is the centre and source of all spiritual light, warmth, life, health, growth, beauty and fertility."

"I am of the opinion that we should not be concerned about working for God until we have learned the meaning and delight of worshipping Him."

"Praise shall conclude that work which prayer began"

"Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and worn with thanks."

"Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting."

"True believing will always be accompanied by godly living.  But that which gives man an interest in Christ is not his living, but his faith"

"It certainly is true that hardly anything is missing from our churches these days - except the most important thing.  We are missing the genuine and sacred offering of ourselves and our worship to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"One of the best ways we can bless the world is to make our own home sweet and happy."

“Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our Church. We are fighting to-day for costly grace.”

“The ultimate ground of faith and knowledge is confidence in God.”

"If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him."

"When you find your heart secure, presumptuous and proud, then pour upon corruption more than grace: then look upon your grace without infirmities.”

"There is something that gives better returns than silver or gold in the world's markets. It is better to be wise than to be rich. A proper use of wisdom yields larger and better gains than the best use of money."

"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope, where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy."

“The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches.”

"The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives."

"Blessed be God that Thou hast filled the soul of Thy servant with joy and peace in believing."

"It is well to form the habit of saying kindly things. Sincere words of commendation help all true men and women to live more worthily and to achieve better things."

"It is grace, nothing but grace, that we are allowed to live in community with Christian brethren.”

“The proximate result of obedience to God is inward conformity to the Divine image”

"Happy indeed is that church whose members not only desire to reach heaven themselves, but desire also to take others with them."

"Labor to clear up your evidence for heaven when God takes from your comfort of earth, so that as your sufferings do abound, your consolation in Christ may abound much more, (2Cor. 1:5)."

"The best way to live for to-morrow is to do well the work of to-day; yet the future should always exert an inspiring influence upon us. In the time of discouragement it is the hope of overcoming that brings cheer."

“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts. How can God entrust great things to one who will not thankfully receive from Him the little things?”

“He is not to us a God afar off, with whom we have no immediate concern; but a God who is not far from any one of us, in whom we live, move, and have our being, who numbers the hairs of your head, and without whose notice a sparrow does not fall to the ground.”

"Men question the truth of Christianity because they hate the practice of it.”

"Swallow up your will in the will of God."

“We ought not to live in the past. No matter how full of blessing and good it is, we may not stay in it. Life is before us, never behind us. “

“There is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.”
