Quote

Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.

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.

Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart.

I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.

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

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

In many churches Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!

We can take whatever path in worship we choose, but not all paths will end at the feet of Jesus.

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one.

Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, What comes into your mind when you think about God? we might predict with certainty the future of that man.

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God has ever said about Himself will be modified nothing the inspired prophets and apostles have said about Him will be rescinded.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.

Time is a resource that is non-renewable and non-transferable. You cannot store it, slow it up, hold it up, divide it up or give it up. You can’t hoard it up or save it for a rainy day—when it’s lost it is unrecoverable. When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.

Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.

To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.

We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him.

The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God.

What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?
