A world of confusion and disappointment results from trying to believe without obeying.

Everything God does has purpose and intention behind that design. It is a master design, and every little thing has its proper place and function.

Image
To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.

Image
I have found God to be cordial and generous and in every way easy to live with.

Image
I find that when people haven't found God and do not know the new birth and the Spirit is not on them, yet they have the ancient impulse to worship something. If they're not educated they kill a chicken and put a funny thing on their head and dance around. If they are educated they write poetry.

It will cost you everything to follow the Lord. And it will cost you even more to be His man for this hour.

Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart.

Faith is not a conclusion you reach...it's a journey you live.

Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

Image
To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.

If your life does not worship God, your lips do not worship God either.

Image
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.

To know that God thinks about me is the beginning of my journey of faith.

God wants us to make Jesus Christ the central figure in our church--not just say that we do, but actually do it.

The inner life must overcome the flesh or the flesh will overcome and destroy the inner life.

Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him.

To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.

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.
