Argument almost always leaves behind a sore feeling in the heart of the one who has been worsted. By loving teaching, by Christ-like living, we are to win this people for our Lord. They do not understand what disinterested love and …

I so want you to realise this principle of working with God and asking Him for everything. If the work is at the command of God, then we can go to Him in full confidence for workers; and when God gives the workers, we can go to Him for …

Let us give up our work, our thoughts, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into His hand, and then, when we have given all over to Him, there will be nothing left for us to trouble about, or to …

Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. We know how the Lord Jesus became fruitful – not by bearing His Cross merely, but by dying on it. Do we know much of fellowship with Him in this?

The vine . . . is not the root merely, but all - root, stem, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruit: and Jesus is not only that: He is soil and sunshine, air and showers, and ten thousand times more than we ever dreamed, wished for, or …

Work is the outcome of effort; fruit, of life.

With GOD all things are possible, and no conviction ever takes place save by the almighty power of the HOLY GHOST. The great need, therefore, of every Christian worker is to know GOD.

Where the need is greatest let us be found gladly obeying the MASTER’S command. For it is in the harvest-field, it is among the reapers, that we shall find Him.

When you need it, rest in body; rest always in spirit.

When the heart submits, then Jesus reigns When Jesus reigns, there is rest.

We shall find that Separation to GOD is followed by Blessing from GOD; and that those who receive large blessing from Him, in turn render to Him acceptable Service; service in which GOD takes delight, and which He places in everlasting …

True devotion will rather ask to be allowed to give, and will count as loss all which may not be given up for the Lord’s sake.

To know and to do His will – this is our safety; this is our rest.

Those who do not make God Lord of all, do not make Him Lord at all

The use of means ought not to lessen our faith in GOD; and our faith in GOD ought not to hinder our using whatever means He has given us for the accomplishment of His own purposes.

The sin of neglected communion may be forgiven, and yet the effect remains permanently.

The more we rest on this fact, – that we do not know the way we are going, but that we have a GUIDE who does know; that we do not know how to accomplish our service, but that He never leaves us to devise our own service; – the more restful …

The highest service demands the greatest sacrifice, but it secures the fullest blessing and the greatest fruitfulness.

Some are jealous of being successors of the Apostles. I would rather be a successor of the Samaritan woman, who, while the Apostles went for meat and forgot souls, forgot her water pot in her zeal to spread the good tidings.

Self-denial surely means somethings far greater than some slight and insignificant lessening of our self-indulgences!

Satan may build a hedge about us and fence us in and hinder our movements, but he cannot roof us in and prevent our looking up.

Power with God will be the gauge of real power with men.

Not infrequently our GOD brings His people into difficulties on purpose that they may come to know Him as they could not otherwise do.

Nearness to GOD calls for tenderness of conscience, thoughtfulness in service, and implicit obedience.
