| It shall greatly help you to understand Scripture if thou mark not only what is spoken or written – but of whom – and to whom – with what words – at what time – where – to what intent – with what circumstances – considering what goeth before – and what followeth |

|
| I can seldom read scripture now without tears of joy and gratitude | ||||
|
| (After losing his beloved wife, Hudson Taylor wrote in his journal) Love gave the blow that for a little while makes the desert more dreary, but Heaven more homelike | ||||
|
| Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. | ||||
|
| Five minutes after you die you’ll know how you should have lived. | ||||
|
| If I might be the means of saving one soul I should prefer it to all the riches and honor in the world | ||||
|
| In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. | ||||
|
| What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? | ||||
|
| If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. | ||||
|
| There are only two days on my calendar… today and the day of judgment | ||||
|
| Some people do not like to hear much of repentance; but I think it is so necessary that if I should die in the pulpit, I would desire to die preaching repentance, and if out of the pulpit I would desire to die practicing it. | ||||
|
| A woman rushed up to famed violinist Fritz Kreisler after a concert and cried: “I’d give my life to play as beautifully as you do.” Kreisler replied, “I did.” Even nature teaches us that results require long, hard, patient, careful work. The Christian life is no different. | ||||
|
| No one can come to me unless the Father draws him. | ||||
|
| Only Christ could build a bridge to God with only two pieces of wood. | ||||
|
| Very few people have the grace of being special without also being aware of that specialness. But in Heaven the lowest Christian will be a king, and he can enjoy all the honors of royalty without vanity or pride. | ||||
|
| Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason-I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other-my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen. | ||||
|
| Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. | ||||
|
| Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; another’s life, another’s death, I stake my whole eternity. | ||||
|
| Oh! how amazing it is that people can talk so much about men’s power and goodness, when if God did not hold us back every moment, we should be devils incarnate! | ||||
|
| Is what you’re living for worth Christ dying for? | ||||
|
| Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust in Him | ||||
|
| I love to live on the brink of eternity. | ||||
|
| Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. | ||||
|
| You know they boasted about the Titanic, that it was the one ship that could not be sunk. Somebody said ‘God Almighty can’t sink this ship’ You can be pretty sure when somebody says something like that it’s going to sink on it’s first voyage. But there is one ship that isn’t going to sink.. and that’s the church | |
