The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing. These are the 'poor in spirit.'

Maybe God is calling you to do something extraordinary that isn't on your calendar something to revive your soul!

O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ's sake, Amen.

Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.

Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God. Believing, then, is directing the hearts' attention to Jesus. It is lifting the mind to 'behold the Lamb of God,' and never ceasing that beholding for the rest of our lives.

In trying to count our many blessings the difficulty is not to find things to count, but to find time to enumerate them all.

It is doubtful we can be Christian in anything unless we are Christian in everything.

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.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

Man doesnt have the patience or the power to wait. But God does. He has all eternity to accomplish His purposes.

We are here to affirm, not to deny... when we affirm all that is God, all that is not God is automatically denied.

There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.

When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!

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.

Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

I have found God to be cordial and generous and in every way easy to live with.

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

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

Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization. And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is eternity.
