“Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.”

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.

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.

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift OF GOD.

Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.

God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit

Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.

How can one come to possess great faith? Now listen, here is the answer to that: First, the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Faith must grow by soil, moisture, and exercise.

If you have a problem with my answer that’s your problem, not my problem.

We wander, question. But the answer waits in each separate heart – the answer of our own identity and the way by which we can master loneliness and feel that at last we belong.

The most interesting thing in the world is another human being who wonders, suffers and raises the questions that have bothered him to the last day of his life, knowing he will never get the answers.

God is more eager to answer than we are to ask.
