The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
God wants to use us as He used His own Son.
To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.
It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.
Our work begins where God’s grace has laid the foundation; we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.
We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life “hidden with Christ in God” in our everyday human conditions.
There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.
There is always one fact more in every man’s case about which we know nothing.
A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.
As soon as we abandon ourselves to God and do the task He has placed closest to us, He begins to fill our lives with surprises.
God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Jesus Christ can afford to be misunderstood; we cannot. Our weakness lies in always wanting to vindicate ourselves.
There are certain things we must not pray about – moods, for instance. Moods never go by praying, moods go by kicking.
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
Prayer is not getting things from God. That is a most initial stage; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God: I tell Him what I know He knows in order that I may get to know it as He does.
When we pray “in the Name of Jesus” the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
