We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.

Where God is not glorified, that place is sick

Pray and as you pray, surrender and as you surrender, believe.

We are too quick to live this life and forget that there is another world to come...this is not the end.

Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace.

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.

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

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.

Image
If we take away any of the attributes of God, we do not weaken God but we weaken our concept of God.

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition you know that you are God's child, you know it by the text but you also know it by the inner light, the inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever reason you out of it.

Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.

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 must break the evil habit of ignoring the spiritual. We must shift our interest from the seen to the unseen.

Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?

I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

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.'
