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.

Yes, I believe you can be right with God and still not like the way some people behave. Our admonition is to love them in a larger and more comprehensive way because we are all one in Christ Jesus. This kind of love is indeed a Christian virtue!

Where God and man are in relationship, this must be the ideal. God must be the communicator, and man must be in the listening, obeying attitude. If men and women are not willing to assume this listening attitude, there will be no meeting with God in living, personal experience.

Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.

Religious externals may have meaning for the God-inhabited soul for any others they are not only useless but may actually become snares, deceiving them into a false and perilous sense of security.

I find that when people haven't found God and do not know the new birth and the Spirit is not on them, yet they have the ancient impulse to worship something. If they're not educated they kill a chicken and put a funny thing on their head and dance around. If they are educated they write poetry.

As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.

Worship, I say, rises or falls with our concept of God .... and if there is one terrible disease in the Church of Christ, it is that we do not see God as great as He is.

True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.

The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.

God's gifts are many His best gift is one. It is the gift of Himself.

The blessed and inviting truth is that God is the most winsome of all beings and in our worship of Him we should find unspeakable pleasure.

Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.

The love of God is one of the great realities of the universe, a pillar upon which the hope of the world rests. But it is a personal, intimate thing too. God does not love populations, He loves people. He loves not masses, but men.

God wants the whole person and He will not rest till He gets us in entirety. No part of the man will do (101) - The Pursuit of God

To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.
