God never intended His Church to be a refrigerator in which to preserve perishable piety. He intended it to be an incubator in which to hatch our converts.

Nature is but a name for an effect whose cause is God.

People who won't help others in trouble "because they got into trouble through their own fault" would probably not throw a lifeline to a drowning man until they learned whether he fell in through his own fault or not.

If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.

Some people read their Bible in Hebrew, some in Greek; I like to read mine in the Holy Ghost.

If God is a reality, and the soul is a reality, and you are an immortal being, what are you doing with your Bible shut?

Some read the Bible to learn and some read the Bible to hear from heaven.

Listen less to your own thoughts and more to God's thoughts.

A knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.

There is no way of belonging to Jesus Christ except by belonging gladly and irrevocably to the glorious ragbag of saints and fat-heads who make up the One, Holy and Universal Church!

Help us to help each other, Lord,|Each other's cross to bear,|Let each his friendly aid afford,|And feel his brother's care.

They that know God will be humble; they that know themselves cannot be proud.

Behind every saint stands another saint.

The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.

Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good !!!

The church is an organism, not an organization; a movement, not a monument.

It is better to be faithful than famous.

Ultimately, evangelism is not a technique. It is the Lord of the Church who reserves to Himself His sovereign right to add to His Church.

If we spread the gospel, Jesus will spread the salvation.

Christ sent me to preach the gospel and he will look after the results.

We are the sermons the world is heeding.

To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.

We can love the world, or love God. If we love the world, there will be no room in our heart for the love of God. We cannot love both God, who is eternal, and the world, which is transitory.

Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next.

You can in no manner be satisfied with temporal goods, for you were not created to find your rest in them.

Hold everything earthly with a loose hand.

Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.

It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless we preach as we walk.

The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!

Faith lives in a broken heart. "He cried out with tears, Lord, I believe." True faith is always in a heart bruised for sin. Saving faith always grows in a heart humbled for sin, in a weeping eye and a tearful conscience.

Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

As gold is purified in the furnace, so the faithful heart is purified by sorrow.

The tearful praying Christian, whose distress prevents his words, will be clearly understood by the Most High.

Tearless hearts can never be the heralds of the Passion.
