If Christ is not ALL to you he is NOTHING to you
In agony unknown He bleeds away His life; in terrible throes He exhausts His soul. "Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani?" And then see! they pierce His side, and forthwith runneth out blood and water! This is the shedding of blood, the terrible pouring out of blood, without which, for you and the whole human race, there is no remission.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. If it were not for the laws of the land, we should soon see a massacre of the righteous. Jesus was watched by his enemies, who were thirsting for his blood: his disciples must not look for favour where their Master found hatred and death.
Oh, the stoop of the Redeemer's amazing love! Let us, henceforth, contend how low we can go side by side with Him, but remember when we have gone to the lowest He descends lower still, so that we can truly feel that the very lowest place is too high for us, because He has gone lower still.
Was it not most meet that a woman should first see the risen Saviour? She was first in the transgression; let her be first in the justification. In yon garden she was first to work our wo; let her in that other garden be the first to see Him who works our weal. She takes first the apple of that bitter tree which brings us all our sorrow; let her be the first to see the Mighty Gardener, who has planted a tree which brings forth fruit unto everlasting life.
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
By all means read the Puritans, they are worth more than all the modern stuff put together.
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
There is an inherent blasphemy in seeking to add to what Christ Jesus in His dying moments declared to be finished.
Saints of the early church reaped great harvests in the field of prayer and found the mercy seat to be a mine of untold treasures.
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
A thrifty housewife is better than a great income. A good wife and health are a man's best wealth.
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Intercessory prayer is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought! The Word of God teems with its marvelous deeds. Believer, thou hast a mighty engine in thy hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and thou shalt surely be a benefactor to thy brethren.
There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it; the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen; and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.
God will not be absent when His people are on trial; he will stand in court as their advocate, to plead on their behalf.
Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables
If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
To me, Calvinism means the placing of the eternal God at the head of all things.
The child of God works not for life, but from life; he does not work to be saved, but works because he is saved
If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.
Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer.
A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.
Believe only half of the praise and half of the criticism.
Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
