Quote

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men. This is such a common truth that one hesitates to mention it, yet it appears to have been overlooked by the majority of Christians today.

When we yield ourselves completely to God, He gives Himself completely to us.

Image
When we try to focus our thought upon One who is pure uncreated being we may see nothing at all, for He dwelleth in light that no man can approach unto. Only by faith and love are we able to glimpse Him as He passes by our shelter in the cleft of the rock.

Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.

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

Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one

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!

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.

God’s voice speaking tenderly to our hearts today is the same voice that powerfully called creation into being.

We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.

The pain of sacrificing our old selves is nothing compared to the joy of Christ living in us in our transformed lives.

I contend that whatever does not raise the moral standard of the church or community has been a revival from God.

It is a high Christian privilege to pray for one another within each local church body and then for other believers throughout the world. As a Christian minister, I have no right to preach to people I have not prayed for. That is my strong conviction.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.

The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agree to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless the a man until He has first conquered him. The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.

The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.
