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

We are not saved in order to be a blessing to other people.

It has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky.

Deep down in the Christian’s life, always and all the time, there is to be a “no” to every demand that the flesh may make for recognition, and every demand that the flesh may make for approval.

It comes to the man who is depending on God in the thick of the fight. It comes to the one who tarries for the vision in faith.

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.
