Evangelical faith without Christian ethics is a travesty on the gospel.
Don’t question in the dark what God showed you in the light.
It is always too soon to quit.
Meekness is marked by silence in the face of abuse and infamy, by submission to God’s way, which is higher than our way as heaven is higher than the earth, by submissiveness to others for their welfare. It is the source of inexpressible joy and contentment.
Faith makes the uplook good, the outlook bright, the inlook favorable, and the future glorious.
Many a soul will turn back to accustomed marshlands of defeat rather than brave the fogs of frustration; but the mountain peaks rise high above the rain and gloom.
Climbing in the Spirit is accompanied by kneeling, and not by running; by surrender, and not by determination. Despair of self leads to utter desperation; but beyond these mists lies the sunshine of God’s presence.
