Charles Finney’s Quotes

~ It is the great business of every Christian to save souls. People complain that they do not know how to take hold of this matter. Why, the reason is plain enough; they have never studied it. They have never taken the proper pains to qualify themselves for the work. If you do not make it a matter of study, how you may successfully act in building up the kingdom of Christ, you are acting a very wicked and absurd part as a Christian.

~ A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

~ Sin is the most expensive thing in the universe.

~ A tender heart always brings great peace to the soul.
