There are two classes of Christians: the proud who imagine they are humble and the humble who are afraid they are proud.

They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest.

We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.

Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.

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

For millions of Christians, nevertheless, God is no more real than He is to the non-Christian. They go through life trying to love an ideal and be loyal to a mere principle.

For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.

The great test of faith is to wait on God. . . not expecting to push a button and get whatever we want now.
