Quote

Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places. Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.

God does not so much want us to do things as to let people see what He can do.

Beloved, have you ever thought that someday you will not have anything to try you, or anyone to vex you again? There will be no opportunity in heaven to learn or to show the spirit of patience, forbearance, and longsuffering. If you are to practice these things, it must be now.

Image
One bright and thankful look at the cross is worth a thousand morbid, self-condemning reflections.
A. B. Simpson
Image
We must surrender ourselves so utterly that we can never own ourselves again. We must hand over self and all its rights in an eternal covenant, and give God the absolute right to own us, control us and possess us forever.
A. B. Simpson
Image
We may not preach a crucified Savior without being also crucified men and women. It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration. The cross that Paul speaks about was burned into his very flesh, was branded into his being, and only the Holy Spirit can burn the true cross into our innermost life.

The Holy Spirit is just as truly in us when He makes no sign as when the fountains of joy are overflowing, or the waters of peace are softly refreshing our weary and troubled heart.

Image
We must learn to live on the heavenly side and look at things from above. To contemplate all things as God sees them, as Christ beholds them, overcomes sin, defies Satan, dissolves perplexities, lifts us above trials, separates us from the world and conquers fear of death.

May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.

The safe place lies in obedience to God's Word, singleness of heart and holy vigilance.

Image
Have you ever learned the beautiful art of letting God take care of you and giving all your thought and strength to pray for others and for the kingdom of God? It will relieve you of a thousand cares.
A. B. Simpson
Image
There is not a command God gives to His children for which He does not provide the enablement for obedience.

Image
When I cannot understand my Father's leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful-Only wait.

The greatest need of our age and of every age, the greatest need of every human heart, is to know the resources and sufficiency of God.

Your words and wishes are cheap if they do not find expression in your actual gifts.

Once a leader delegates, he should show utmost confidence in the people he has entrusted.

Image
The sanctified body is one whose hands are clean. The stain of dishonesty is not on them, the withering blight of ill-gotten gain has not blistered them, the mark of violence is not found upon them. They have been separated from every occupation that could displease God or injure a fellow-man.

Have we forgotten that there is a Holy Ghost, that we must insist upon walking on crutches when we might fly?
