Quote

Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.

We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

We desperately need seers who can see through the mist- Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy.

It's time for us to rise up, get out of the rut and routine, and begin to take our Christian faith seriously.

Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.

God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.

To know the Creator and the God of all the universe is to revere Him. It is to bow down before Him in wonder and awesome fear.

Do not allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that unique quality God has breathed into you.

Faith in faith is faith astray.

What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.

Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart.
