“A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.”

There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.

Frequently the enemy entices Christians to harbor an unforgiving spirit – a very common symptom indeed among God’s children. Such bitterness and fault-finding and enmity inflict a severe blow upon spiritual life.

Our old history ends with the Cross; our new history begins with the resurrection.

There is a line drawn by God, a boundary where by virtue of his own very presence Satan’s writ does not run. Let God but occupy all the space himself, and what room is left for the evil one?

The devil abhors light and truth because these remove the ground of his working.

God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.

To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual.

God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.

Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict.

By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!

An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.

Don’t be a spectator, don’t let life pass you by.

By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties.

The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.

By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

I go by records and Bob Paisley is the No 1 manager ever!

But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?

You always know when you’re going to arrive. If you go by car, you don’t. Apart from anything else, I prefer cycling. It puts you in a good mood, I find.
