When I first began to preach, I am afraid that I used to say a great many strange things—which, of course, I do not do now. But having, on a certain occasion, said something rather striking and perhaps not quite wise, there was an excellent Christian man who wanted to set me right. He did not come and…

The Book of God has stood so many attacks from such different quarters that to be at all alarmed about it shows a very childish fear. When a rock has been standing all our lifetime, and has been known to stand firmly throughout all the ages of history, none but foolish people will think that the next…

God’s law is not of variable quantity or quality depending upon the quantity or quality of the conscience; it is fixed and definite. It is just as if a man were to take prussic acid believing that it would benefit him—he would die, despite his conscience. Or it is as if a person were to walk northward…

To the unclean and unbelieving, holy things will always be impure. You might as well forbid the sun to shine because, when its beams fall upon a dunghill, it brings forth unwholesome reeking. Yes, but that same sun, when it falls upon the flowers, makes them shed their aromatic perfume on every hand.…

Do you see that clock? That is the evidence of the time of day. The hour would be precisely the same if we did not have that evidence. Still, we find the clock of great use. So we say that good works are the best evidence of spiritual life in the soul. Is it not written, “We know that we have passed…

A certain boy has run away from home. Another boy remained at home. Is he therefore a better child? Listen! He had broken his leg, and could not get out of bed. That takes away all the credit of his staying at home. Some men cannot sin in a certain direction. They say to themselves, “What excellent fellows…

A person asked me one day, “Is not such-and-such a person a Baptist?” I replied, “I do not know him.” He said, “He is a fellow who says a very long grace before his dinner, and he goes to such-and-such a chapel.” “Well,” I answered, “If he goes there, he certainly attends a Baptist chapel.” Then he said,…

Do you think that He who is willing to die is unwilling to apply the results of His passion? A man leaps into the water to bring out a drowning child. After he has brought the child alive on shore, if he happens to have a piece of bread in his pocket and the child needs it, do you think that he who rescued…

A holy man was accustomed to carry with him a book that had three leaves in it, but never a word. The first leaf was black, and this showed his sin. The second was red, and this reminded him of the way of cleansing by blood. The third was white to show how clean the Lord can make us. I beg you just now…

If you send a kite or a buzzard flying over a tract of country, what will it see? Why, it will be looking out for all the dead carcasses, and it will be sure to be able to tell you how much carrion there is about. But if you send a dove over that same space, it won’t have an eye for it, for it has no…

When a man’s heart is full of filth, when the desire to get gain and to get it anyhow is strong in a man, he is in a very unfit condition to profit by hearing the gospel. You cannot get the gospel into him; a golden bolt fastens the door. He is somewhat in the condition of the sea captain I have heard…

When you come to your table you find a variety there. Sometimes there is one dish upon it, and sometimes another, but you are never at all surprised to find the bread there every time.

Suppose you have to carry 50 pounds, and you can carry that and no more. Well, you have strength enough for your task. If another man has to carry 100 pounds, and he can just carry that and no more, he is in exactly the same condition as you are. Here is a brother who has a large measure full of manna,…

When a young man comes to college he usually has much to unlearn. If his education has been neglected, a sort of instinctive ignorance covers his mind with briars and brambles.

I recollect when first I left my grandfather, with whom I had been brought up as a little child, how grieved I was to part from him. It was the great sorrow of my little life.
