Every man is as holy as he really wants to be.

The Christian's heart must be soaked in prayer before the true spiritual fruits begin to grow.

God does not stop at rescuing us the purpose of that rescue is to enjoy fellowship with us.

Shall it be a religion or shall it be Christ? Shall it be churchianity or shall it be Jesus Christ? Shall it be pride or shall it be humility in Jesus Christ?

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.'

In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure , although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold on Him.

Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
When we try to focus our thought upon One who is pure uncreated being we may see nothing at all, for He dwelleth in light that no man can approach unto. Only by faith and love are we able to glimpse Him as He passes by our shelter in the cleft of the rock.

The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.

I am Thy servant to do Thy will, and that will is sweeter to me than position or riches or fame, and I choose it above all things on Earth or in Heaven.

In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane we leave it at the cross.

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

A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.
