We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.

Image
You will never please everybody. Some men will say you have gone too far. Other men will say you haven't gone far enough. I just compromise and say I won't please anybody.

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

If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week.

Nothing that God has ever said about Himself will be modified nothing the inspired prophets and apostles have said about Him will be rescinded. His immutability guarantees this.

Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days.

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.

Very few things in life matter.

Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity.

We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.

To know God is to fear Him. And this fear is to love Him as He deserves to be loved.

Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.

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.'

Everything God does has purpose and intention behind that design. It is a master design, and every little thing has its proper place and function.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.
