"Take y'all realized that virtually of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself? Take those thoughts that come to you the moment you lot wake upwardly in the morning. You have non originated them but they are talking to you, they bring back the bug of yesterday, etc. Somebody is talking. Who is talking to y'all? Your self is talking to you. Now this man's handling [in Psalm 42] was this: instead of assuasive this self to talk to him, he starts talking to himself. "Why art thousand bandage down, O my soul?" he asks. His soul had been depressing him, crushing him. So he stands up and says, "Cocky, listen for moment, I volition speak to you."

"Prayer is across 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."

"To make it quite practical I take a very simple examination. After I take explained the style of Christ to somebody I say "Now, are y'all ready to say that you are a Christian?" And they hesitate. And and so I say, "What'southward the matter? Why are you hesitating?" And then often people say, "I don't feel like I'g skillful plenty yet. I don't think I'm set to say I'grand a Christian at present." And at once I know that I have been wasting my breath. They are yet thinking in terms of themselves. They accept to exercise it. It sounds very minor to say, "Well, I don't think I' skillful enough," but information technology's a very denial of the organized religion. The very essence of the Christian faith is to say that He is good enough and I am in Him. As long as you go on thinking well-nigh yourself like that and maxim, "I'chiliad not expert plenty; Oh, I'thousand not skilful enough," you are denying God – you lot are denying the gospel – y'all are denying the very essence of the organized religion and you will never be happy. You retrieve you're better at times and so once again you will find you lot are not every bit skilful at other times than you thought you were. You lot will be up and down forever. How can I put it plain? It doesn't matter if you have almost entered into the depths of hell. It does not thing if you are guilty of murder as well equally every other vile sin. It does not matter from the standpoint of beingness justified before God at all. You lot are no more hopeless than the most moral and respectable person in the world."
― Spiritual Low: Its Causes and Cure
"The terrible, tragic fallacy of the last hundred years has been to think that all man's troubles are due to his environment, and that to alter the man you have zip to do but modify his environment. That is a tragic fallacy. Information technology overlooks the fact that it was in Paradise that human savage."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
"we must never look at any sin in our past life in any way except that which leads u.s.a. to praise God and to magnify His grace in Christ Jesus."
― Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cures
"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 cantankerous of Calvary and died for our sins and rose again in order to justify usa and to give us life anew and prepare us for heaven-if yous actually believe that, there is only one inevitable deduction, namely that He is entitled to the whole of our lives, without whatever limit whatever."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
"If your preaching of the gospel of God's gratuitous grace in Jesus Christ does not provoke the charge from some of antinomianism, you're non preaching the gospel of the free grace of God in Jesus Christ."

"Be still, and know that I am God'. Nosotros must not interpret that 'Exist yet' in a sentimental manner. Some regard information technology as a kind of exhortation to us to exist silent; but it is zippo of the sort. Information technology means, 'Surrender (or 'Give in') and admit I am God. God is addressing people who are opposed to Him"
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mount

"I am greatly grateful to God that He did non grant me sure things for which I asked, and that He shut sure doors in my face."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
"Why are there wars in the earth? Why is at that place this abiding international tension? What is the matter with the world? Why war and all the unhappiness and turmoil and discord amidst men? According to this Beatitude, there is only one answer to these questions-sin. Nothing else; just sin."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mountain
"The human being who is meek is not even sensitive about himself. He is not always watching himself and his own interests. He is not ever on the defensive… To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we run into in that location is nothing worth defending… The man who is truly meek never pities himself, he is never sad for himself. He never talks to himself and says, "You are having a hard time, how unkind these people are not to empathise you."

"[The] term 'decide' has e'er seemed to me to exist quite wrong…A sinner does non 'decide' for Christ; the sinner 'flies' to Christ in utter helplessness and despair saying —
Foul, I to the fountain wing,
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
No man truly comes to Christ unless he flies to Him as his but refuge and hope, his only way of escape from the accusations of conscience and the condemnation of God'south holy law. Naught else is satisfactory. If a man says that having thought about the matter and having considered all sides he has on the whole decided for Christ, and if he has done so without whatsoever emotion or feeling, I cannot regard him every bit a man who has been regenerated. The convicted sinner no more 'decides' for Christ than the poor drowning man 'decides' to grab that rope that is thrown to him and suddenly provides him with the only means of escape. The term is entirely inappropriate."

"To love to preach is 1 thing, to beloved those to whom nosotros preach quite another."

"It is very foolish to ignore the past. The man who does ignore it, and assumes that our issues are quite new, and that therefore the past has naught at all to teach us, is a homo who is not only grossly ignorant of the Scriptures, he is every bit ignorant of some of the greatest lessons even in secular history."

"When the church is admittedly different from the world, she invariably attracts it. Information technology is and then that the earth is made to listen to her message, though it may hate information technology at showtime."

"The heretics were never dishonest men; they were mistaken men. They should not be thought of as men who were deliberately setting out to go wrong and to teach something that is incorrect; they have been some of the most sincere men that the Church building has ever known. What was the matter with them? Their trouble was this: they evolved a theory and they were rather pleased with it; and then they went dorsum with this theory to the Bible, and they seemed to discover information technology everywhere."

"What is the chief stop of preaching? I like to recall it is this. It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence."
― Preaching and Preachers
"The Christian is not superficial in any sense, but is fundamentally serious and fundamentally happy. Yous run across, the joy of the Christian is a holy joy, the happiness of the Christian is a serious happiness. ... it is a solemn joy, it is a holy joy, it is a serious happiness; then that, though he is grave and sober-minded and serious, he is never common cold and prohibitive."

"What is meant by this term, 'the center'? According to the general scriptural usage of the term, the heart ways the centre of the personality. It does not merely mean the seat of the affections and the emotions."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mountain
"Nosotros can put information technology this way: the man who has faith is the man who is no longer looking at himself and no longer looking to himself. He no longer looks at anything he once was. He does not wait at what he is at present. He does not even wait at what he hopes to be as the result of his own efforts. He looks entirely to the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work, and rests on that lone. He has ceased to say, "Ah yes, I used to commit terrible sins simply I accept washed this and that." He stops saying that. If he goes on saying that, he has not got faith. Faith speaks in an entirely different fashion and makes a human say, "Yes I take sinned grievously, I take lived a life of sin, however I know that I am a kid of God considering I am not resting on any righteousness of my own; my righteousness is in Jesus Christ and God has put that to my account."

"A man who imagines that because he has a head full of knowledge that he is sufficient for these things had better showtime learning again. 'Who is sufficient for these things?' What are you doing? You are not but imparting data, you are dealing with souls, you are dealing with pilgrims on the way to eternity, yous are dealing with matters not only of life and expiry in this earth, but with eternal destiny."
― Preaching and Preachers
"Nosotros tend to accept a incorrect view of constabulary and to think of it as something that is opposed to grace. Simply it is not. Police force is just opposed to grace in the sense that in that location was once a covenant of law, and we are now nether the covenant of grace."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
"The preacher must be a serious man; he must never give the impression that preaching is something light or superficial or trivial."
― Preaching and Preachers
"That is the only way to empathise rightly this picture of the false prophets. The false prophet is a human being who has no `strait gate' or `narrow style' in his gospel. He has nothing which is offensive to the natural man; he pleases all."
― Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
"The trouble with some of the states is that we love preaching, but we are non always careful to make sure that we love the people to whom we are actually preaching. If you lack this chemical element of compassion for the people you will besides lack the desolation which is a very vital chemical element in all true preaching. Our Lord looked out upon the multitude and 'saw them every bit sheep without a shepherd', and was 'filled with compassion'. And if you lot know nothing of this you lot should not be in a pulpit, for this is certain to come up out in your preaching."
― Preaching and Preachers
"It does not say, 'Blessed are those who are persecuted because they are objectionable.' It does not say, 'Blessed are those who are having a hard time in their Christian life considering they are being difficult.' It does not say, 'Blessed are those who are being persecuted as Christians because they are seriously defective in wisdom and are really foolish and unwise in what they regard as being their testimony."
