“Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.”

God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.

The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.

The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.

God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.

Our Lord’s first obedience was to the will of his Father, not to the needs of men; the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
