What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.

We wonder why we don't have faith the answer is, faith is confidence in the character of God and if we don't know what kind of God God is, we can't have faith.

Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.

The only fear I have is to fear to get out of the will of God. Outside of the will of God, there's nothing I want, and in the will of God there's nothing I fear, for God has sworn to keep me in His will. If I'm out of his will that's another matter. But if I'm in His will, He's sworn to keep me.

Is it ever possible to overdo the talking about the glory of Christ? Is it ever too often to be in God's presence?

The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.

God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called The Word. The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind.

There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.

Any spirit that permits compromise with the world is a false spirit. Any religious movement that imitates the world in any of its manifestations is false to the cross of Christ and on the side of the devil.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.

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

What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.

The man who preaches truth and applies it to the lives of his hearers will feel the nails and the thorns. He will lead a hard life, but a glorious one. May God raise up many such prophets. The church needs them badly.

We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.

The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God Himself.

Religion today is not transforming people rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.

You can be straight as a gun barrel theologically, and as empty as one spiritually.

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.
