There are two classes of Christians: the proud who imagine they are humble and the humble who are afraid they are proud. There should be another class: the self-forgetful who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest.

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.

The essence of surrender is getting out of God's way so that He can do in us what He also wants to do through us.

The basic trouble with the church today is her unworthy concept of God... Our religion is weak because our God is weak... Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending on her concept of God.

God's redemptive revelation in Scripture is necessary to saving faith and peace with God. Faith in a risen Savior is necessary if the vague stirrings toward immortality are to bring us to restful and satisfying communion with God.

Without doubt, the mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightest word in any language is its word for God.

The importance of coming into God's presence is worth overcoming all obstacles along the way.

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

God loves you not because you are worthy, but because He is God and you are a fixture in His mind.

You will never be more than a common Christian until you give up your own interest and cease defending yourself.

Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.

The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.

The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!

Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.

God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'

To treat an imperfect brother (or sister) impatiently is to advertise our own imperfections.

All the problems of heaven and earth, though they were to confront us together and at once, would be nothing compared with that overwhelming problem of God: That He is what He is like and what we as moral beings must do about Him.

We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

What now does the divine immanence mean in direct Christian experience? It means simply that God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. Ther eis no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

The Christian is strong or weak depending upon how closely he has cultivated the knowledge of God.
