There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.
Let me never become a slave to crowds.
God created our souls to be satisfied only with the divine everlastingness of the Word made flesh.
We are vengeful. God is forgiving. We remember. God redeems.
Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.
Whatever may befall us, God knows and cares as no one else can.
The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. What he is or is not no longer concerns him. He believes that he has been crucified with Christ and he is not willing either to praise or deprecate such a man.
Christians aren’t finished products. We’re God’s sons and daughters in process.
No one will make progress with God until our eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves!
The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many persons.
Any spirit that permits compromise with the world is a false spirit. Any religious movement that imitates the world in any of its manifestations is false to the cross of Christ and on the side of the devil.
The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.
God’s Kingdom isn’t divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God’s sight, everyone’s needful.
You will never be more than a common Christian until you give up your own interest and cease defending yourself.
Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them.
We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.
True worship, worship that is pleasing to God, radiates throughout a person’s entire life.
As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.
Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization. And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is eternity.
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.
