We must do worldly jobs, but if we do them with sanctified minds, they become offerings to God.

If a man has only correct doctrine to offer me, I am sure to slip out at the first intermission to seek the company of someone who has seen for himself how lovely is the face of Him who is the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Such a man can help me, and no one else can.

When we have the Holy Spirit we have all that is needed to be all that God desires us to be.

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.

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

One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.

Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, What comes into your mind when you think about God? we might predict with certainty the future of that man.

The superior Christian lets God strip him of everything that might serve as a false refuge, a secondary trust.

Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.

Image
Made as we were in the image of God we scarcely find it strange to take again our God as our All. God was our original habitat and our hearts cannot but feel at home when they enter again that ancient and beautiful abode.

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

Image
The various elements of truth stand in perpetual antithesis, sometimes requiring us to believe apparent opposites while we wait for the moment when we shall know as we are known.

We ought not to be looking for a place to hide, but a place to give ourselves as an offering to God.

Wherever faith has eyes to see, there is a smiling presence of the Son of God.

As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is his goodness directed toward human debt and demerit.

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. What he is or is not no longer concerns him. He believes that he has been crucified with Christ and he is not willing either to praise or deprecate such a man.

To regain her lost power the Church must see heaven opened and have a transforming vision of God.

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.

The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people.
