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

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.

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

The greatest encouragement throughout the Bible is God's love for His lost race and the willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show forth that love in God's plan of redemption.

No one can know truth except the one who obeys truth. You think you know truth. People memorize the Scriptures by the yard, but that is not a guarantee of knowing the truth. Truth is not a text. Truth is in the text, but it takes the text plus the Holy Spirit to bring truth to a human soul.

A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.

God's gifts are many His best gift is one. It is the gift of Himself.

Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time.

Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aide to the life of faith may be Christian biographies.

True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.

Christians should be the boldest people in the world-not cocky and sure of ourselves, but sure of Him.

Be thankful, but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver.
