Image
One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.

As long as Christ sits on the throne, every day is a good day and all days are days of salvation.

May God grant us a desire for God that supersedes all other desires.

God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.

We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.

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.'

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.

Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.

Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late - and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work.

We Christians must look sharp that our Christianity does not simply refine our sins without removing them.

God purposed redemption in Christ Jesus before the world began, and His plan does not need any editing by man.

A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here awaiting our response to His presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.

My aim each day is to adore God more than anything else.

Until we believe that we are as bad as God says we are, we can never believe that He will do for us what He says He will do. Right here is where popular religion breaks down.

An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

It's time for us to rise up, get out of the rut and routine, and begin to take our Christian faith seriously.

If worship bores you, you are not ready for heaven.

All the problems of heaven and earth, though they were to confront us together and at once, would be nothing compared with that overwhelming problem of God: That He is what He is like and what we as moral beings must do about Him.

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