“There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.”

Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don’t neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.

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.

The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.

Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.

Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.

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

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly.

Learning is hard. Unlearning is harder. Pretending that most of us don’t need to do either when it comes to racism is its own form of violence.

For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.

Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things.

We fall in love with someone when they show us, consistently, that they’re willing to put our needs ahead of their own.

Everyone you meet knows something you don’t know but need to know. Learn from them.

We need leaders who understand that and have concrete plans to do so.

Pray, for all men need the aid of the gods.

Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be in itself a power.
