Our walk by faith, if it is true biblical faith, will get us in trouble.

The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.

The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us.

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.

Faith is a re-directing of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus.

Image
No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.

No man has any right to speak to men about God who has not first spoken to God about men.

What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.

Every ransomed man owes his salvation to the fact that during his days of sinning, God kept the door of mercy open.

The true follower of Christ will not ask, If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me? Rather he will say, This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!

Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.

Time is a resource that is non-renewable and non-transferable. You cannot store it, slow it up, hold it up, divide it up or give it up. You can’t hoard it up or save it for a rainy day—when it’s lost it is unrecoverable. When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.

Men are free to decide their own moral choices, but they are also under the necessity to account to God for those choices.
