When we do good—even when others are doing wrong—God will bless us.

The great crowds themselves are meaningless. The thing that counts is what happens in the hearts of the people. The evangelist sows the seed, and much inevitably falls upon stony ground and bears no fruit. But if only a few seeds flourish, the results are manifold.

What makes us Christians shrug our shoulders when we ought to be flexing our muscles? What makes us apathetic in a day when there are loads to lift, a world to be won, and captives to be set free? Why are so many bored, when the times demand action? Christ told us that in the last days there would be an insipid attitude toward life.

It doesn't take great wealth or social influence to be faithful, but it does take obedience and endurance.

Our lives are to be characterized by patience, for it is important in developing the mature, stable character which God wants to produce in His people.

The Christian's journey through life isn't a sprint but a marathon.

Patience includes perseverance—the ability to bear up under weariness, strain, and persecution when doing the work of the Lord.

Time and tide and the ravages of sin take their toll on the most noble achievements of man.

There are storms in your own life: storms of temptation, confusion, and difficulty... An uneasy conscience says, "Stop before it is too late!"

It is strange that the world accepts enthusiasm in every realm but the spiritual.

There is no shortcut to excellence.

Get up, stand up Stand up for your rights Get up, stand up Never give up the fight.
