“Repentance means a change of mind. Formerly, I thought sin as a pleasant thing, but now I have changed my mind about it. Formerly, I thought the world an attractive place, but now I know better.”

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 ‘flesh’ is too bad to be cleansed; it must be crucified.

The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.

I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.

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.

To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so.

If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.

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.
