Quote

For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.

Be thankful, but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver.

Faith is not merely a journey for the feet, but it is also a journey for the heart.

Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.

Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.

God and I here is the beginning and the end of personal religion.

God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.

We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.

The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.

The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend.

May not the inadequacy of much of our spiritual experience be traced back to our habit of skipping through the corridors of the Kingdom like children in the market place, chattering about everything, but pausing to learn the value of nothing.

The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, God. The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.

I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.

I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind.

We modern Christians are long on talk and short on conduct.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

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.

Nothing should so occupy the mind of the Christian than discovering God each day.

I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.

But the sons of this world have not God they have only each other, and they walk holding to each other and looking to one another for assurance like frightened children.

The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.
