Is it ever possible to overdo the talking about the glory of Christ? Is it ever too often to be in God's presence?

To be effective the preacher's message must be alive it must alarm, arouse, challenge it must be God's present voice to a particular people.

I do not know why God does some things, but I am convinced that nothing is accidental in his universe.

The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed... The heart's fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest.

Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.

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.

God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.

In an effort to get the work of the Lord done we often lose contact with the Lord of work.

The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.

We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.

Image
God expects us to measure the church not against tradition but against the standards & promises of His Word.

The desire to fulfill the purpose for which we were created is a gift from God.

Image
I want to be in a place where I have to have God in everything I do . . . where God is indispensable to me.

Image
The world is waiting to hear an authentic voice, a voice from God- not an echo of what others are doing and saying, but an authentic voice.

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

God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. The man who would know God must give time to Him.

A low view of God is the cause of a hundred lesser evils. A high view of God is the solution to ten thousand temporal problems.
