“Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?”

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.

God is not saving the world; it is done. Our business is to get men and women to realize it.

For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

The scrutiny we give other people should be for ourselves.

To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ.

Don’t plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God.

It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.

When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.

When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.

Our world today so desperately hungers for hope, yet uncounted people have almost given up. There is despair and hopelessness on every hand. Let us be faithful in proclaiming the hope that is in Jesus.

Have Jesus always for your patron, His Cross for a mast on which you must spread your resolutions as a sail. Your anchor shall be a profound confidence in Him, and you shall sail prosperously.

There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can’t do it – because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.

God never breaks His promises.

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.

The main characteristic which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing, and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s Word.

Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
