If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.
You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside.
The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Keep your soul fit to manifest the life of the Son of God. Never live on memories; let the word of God be always living and active in you.
Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.
The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.
We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.
If God sees that my spiritual life will be furthered by giving the things for which I ask, then He will give them, but that is not the end of prayer. The end of prayer is that I come to know God Himself.
The Bible does not thrill; the Bible nourishes. Give time to the reading of the Bible and the recreating effect is as real as that of fresh air physically.
It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
Pray because you have a Father, not because it quietens you, and give Him time to answer.
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God; it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.
If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.
It is in the middle that human choices are made; the beginning and the end remain with God. The decrees of God are birth and death, and in between those limits man makes his own distress or joy.
God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.
Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don’t neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
