Hope is the music of the whole Bible, the heartbeat, the pulse and the atmosphere of the whole Bible.
Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.
People who are crucified with Christ have three distinct marks: 1. they are facing only one direction, 2. they can never turn back, and 3. they no longer have plans of their own.
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world.
God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible – what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.
When God would make His name known to mankind, He could find no better word than “I AM.” “I am that I am,” says God, “I change not.” Everyone and everything else measures from that fixed point.
No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.
The meek man will attain a place of soul rest. As he walks on in meekness he will be happy to let God defend him. The old struggle to defend himself is over. He has found the peace which meekness brings.
The cross stands high above the opinions of men and to that cross all opinions must come at last for judgment.
For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.
I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.
O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace.
To pray with your fists closed means you’re hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.
One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.
Each day presents a new opportunity to experience God’s presence.
The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.
We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.
Men who refuse to worship the true God now worship themselves with tender devotion.
When we have the Holy Spirit we have all that is needed to be all that God desires us to be.
