“Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.”

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.

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

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.

Never take your obedience as the reason God blesses you; obedience is the outcome of being rightly related to God.

All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them. No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

The way you are with others every day, regardless of their status, is the true test of faith.

My faith is a wounded faith, but my life is not without faith. I didn’t divorce God, but I’m quarrelling and arguing and questioning, it’s a wounded faith.

When I lost hope, hope came and found me, when I stopped believing in faith, faith believed in me.

But how to get faith strengthened? Not by striving after faith, but by resting on the Faithful One.

God isn’t looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him

In the beginning there was faith – which is childish; trust – which is vain; and illusion – which is dangerous.
