Jesus is humble, and His servants must not be proud; but Jesus was never mean or cowardly, nor must His servants be.  There was no braver man than Christ.  He could stoop to save a soul, but He would stoop to nothing by which His character might be compromised or truth and righteousness insulted.  To preach the Gospel boldly is to deliver it as such a message ought to be delivered.  Blush to preach of a dying Saviour?  Apologize for talking about the Son of God condescending to be made man that He might redeem us from all iniquity?  Never!

Quotes from the same author

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Nothing puts life into men like a dying Savior.
Prayer plumes the wings of God's young eaglets so that they may learn to mount above the clouds. Prayer brings inner strength to God's warriors and sends them forth to spiritual battle with their muscles firm and their armor in place.
We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so glorious. Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!
Unbelief is the mother of vice; it is the parent of sin; and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil-a master sin.
