Jesus gave His life to love me, and despite what it costs me, I can think of no greater calling than to love someone else in the same way that Jesus loved me.

Those whom God calls to such a ministry – and a call is essential – must be prepared for a pathway of unpopularity and misunderstanding. “You troubler of Israel” was the way Ahab addressed Elijah.”

All professing Christians should examine themselves and try their own state. It is not those outside the churches where the dead are to be found; there are only too many inside our churches, and close to our pulpits—too many on the benches, and too many in the pews. The land is like the valley in Ezekiel’s vision, “full of bones, very many, and very dry.” (Ezek. 37:2) There are dead souls in all our parishes, and dead souls in all our streets. There is hardly a family in which all live to God; there is hardly a house in which there is not someone dead. Oh, let us all search and look at home! Let us prove our own selves. Are we alive or dead?

You get one pass at life. That’s all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ.

Being a missionary is really just living the Christian life genuinely in another place.

Sometimes God brings us into the Red Sea just to show His power in getting us out.

Unction comes to the preacher not in the study but in the closet. It is heaven’s distillation in answer to prayer. It is the sweetest exhalation of the Holy Spirit. It impregnates, suffuses, softens, percolates, cuts, and soothes. It carries the Word like dynamite, like salt, like sugar; makes the Word a soother, an arranger, a revealer, a searcher; makes the hearer a culprit or a saint, makes him weep like a child and live like a giant; opens his heart…as gently, yet as strongly as the spring opens the leaves.

Why learn what to live without living what you learn?

Christ may be called the key-stone of the arch of truth. Take away the key-stone of an arch, and the whole becomes a heap of rubbish. The very same stones may be there, but they are all fallen, smothered, and confused, without order, without end. Just so, take Christ away, and the whole arch of truth becomes a heap of rubbish. The very same truths may be there; but they are all fallen, without coherence, without order, without end. Christ may be called the sun of the of the system of truth. Take away the sun out of our system, and every planet would rush into confusion … Just so, take Christ away, and the whole system of truth rushes into confusion.
