“Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.”1
“If we believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the only begotten Son of God and that He came into this world and went to the cross of Calvary and died for our sins and rose again in order to justify us and to give us life anew and prepare us for heaven-if you really believe that, there is only one inevitable deduction, namely that He is entitled to the whole of our lives, without any limit whatsoever.”
“How easy it is to read the Scriptures and give a kind of nominal assent to the truth and yet never to appropriate what it tells us!”
“I am profoundly grateful to God that He did not grant me certain things for which I asked, and that He shut certain doors in my face.”
“To love to preach is one thing, to love those to whom we preach quite another.”
“When the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it. It is then that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first.”
“The Church has been trying to preach morality and ethics without the Gospel as a basis; it has been preaching morality without godliness; and it simply does not work. It never has done, and it never will. And the result is that the Church, having abandoned her real task, has left humanity more or less to its own devices.”
“In a sense the most approachable Person this world has ever seen was the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.”
“Faith is the refusal to panic.”
“The most vital question to ask about all who claim to be Christian is this: Have they a soul thirst for God? … Is their life centered on Him? Do they press forward more and more that they might know Him.”
“The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.”
“The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.”
“The great need of the church today, in our sadness and in our slowness, is to discover the secret of the burning heart.”
“I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.”
“The Son of God became man that the children of men might become children of God.”
“What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this. It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence.”
“The chief thing is the love of God, the love of souls, a knowledge of the Truth, and the Holy Spirit within you.”
“The ultimate test of our spirituality is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God.”
“If you do not believe in the unique deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, you are not a Christian, whatever else you may be. We are not looking at a good Man only, we are not interested merely in the greatest Teacher the world has ever seen; we are face to face with the fact that God, the Eternal Son, has been in this world, and that He took upon Him human nature and dwelt among us, a Man amongst men – God-Man. We are face to face with the mystery and the marvel of the Incarnation and of the Virgin Birth. It is all here, and it shines out in all the fullness of its amazing glory. ‘What manner of Man is this?’ He is more than Man. That is the answer – He is also God.”
