“He does the transforming. There is no short-cut to holiness.”

He is the person or thing that if lost would leave us desolate.

You are never used of God to bring blessing until God has opened your eyes and made you see things as they are.

If you look up into His face and say, “Yes, Lord, whatever it costs,”

You will be that inevitably–but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.

We had taken into the battle, but now trusting in the limitless resources of our risen Lord.

What we are is much more important to Him than what we do for Him.

No man can use his Bible with power unless he has the character of Jesus in his heart.

The essence of sin is arrogance; the essence of salvation is submission.

Prayer releases the grip of Satan’s power; prayerlessness increases it.

That is why prayer is so exhausting and so vital. If we believed it, the prayer meeting would be as full as the church.

The Christian life doesn’t get easier as one gets older.

Lay the ax to the root of the tree, and the capacity for Jesus Christ will be increased tomorrow.

There’s some task which the God of all the universe, the great Creator, your redeemer in Jesus Christ has for you to do.

First of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far.

We need, men so possessed by the Spirit of God that God can think His thoughts through our minds.

I do not deny that many appear to have succeeded in a material way by cutting corners and by manipulating associates, both in their professional and in their personal lives.

My brother is the youngest member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. And I wouldn’t let him cut my nails.

Music is, of course, a universal emotional experience, cutting across cultures and languages. I studied piano for ten years as a child and consider that experience one of the most valuable in my life.

Without the triggers, that tax cut is irreponsible fiscal policy. Eventually, I think that will be the consensus view.

I cannot conceive of a politically feasible solution to this problem which will overdo cutting the deficit, where overdoing means harming the economy. It might be technically possible, but it is not realistic.

And there would be an inventory pileup. And then – bam – businesses would react, sometimes violently, by cutting production.

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

And me and the fat kids over here. Those kids were fat! One girl had to be cut out a hula hoop.
