Feeling: Quotations from Burning Words

"Verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life." My friend, that is worth more than all the feeling you can have in a life-time.— D. L. MOODY
Tears never yet saved a soul. Hell is full of weepers weeping over lost opportunities, perhaps over the rejection of an offered Saviour. Your Bible does not say "Weep, and be saved." It says, "Believe, and be saved." Faith is better than feeling.— T. L. CUYLER
My friends, does God invite you? If He does, why don't you accept the invitation? If you want to come, just come along, and don't be talking about feeling. Do you think Lazarus had any feeling when Christ called him out of the sepulchre?— D. L. MOODY
Still dost thou wait for feeling? Dost thou say, "Fain would I love and trust, but hope is dead; I have no faith, and without faith, who may Rest in the blessing which is only shed Upon the faithful? I must stand and wait." Not so. The Shepherd does not ask of thee Faith in thy faith, but only faith in Him. And this He meant in saying, "Come to me!" In light or darkness seek to do His will, And leave the work of faith to Jesus still. Though there is nothing more dangerous, yet there is nothing more ordinary, than for weak saints to make their sense and feeling the judge of their condition. We must strive to walk by faith.— THOMAS BROOKS
