My friends, it is one thing to go to church or chapel; it is quite another thing to go to God.
Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.
There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.
You will never know God's strength until He has supported you in deep waters.
You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.
Hang that question up in your houses, "What would Jesus do?" and then think of another, "How would Jesus do it?" for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.

Every growth of spiritual life, from the first tender shoot until now, has been the work of the Holy Spirit.... The only way to more life is the Holy Spirit. You will not even know that you want more unless He works in you to desire it.... The Spirit of God must come and make the letter alive, transfer it to your heart, set it on fire, and make it burn within you, or else its divine force and majesty will be hid from your eyes.... Prayer is the creation of the Holy Spirit. We cannot do without prayer, and we cannot pray without the Holy Spirit.
Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.
