“As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want God, it is an idol.”

Warning: we may become so enamored with God’s good gifts that we fail to worship the Giver.

Pray, always pray; beneath sins heaviest load, Prayer claims the blood from Jesus’ side that flowed. Pray, always pray; though weary, faint, and lone, Prayer nestles by the Father’s sheltering throne.

One of the first signs of a Spirit-filled life is enthusiasm!

Pray, always pray; when sickness wastes thy frame, Prayer brings the healing power of Jesus’ name.

Before we can speak God’s message, we must learn to listen. The opened ear comes before the opened mouth.

Fear is born of Satan, and if we would only take time to think a moment we would see that everything Satan says is founded upon a falsehood.

The greatest need of our age and of every age, the greatest need of every human heart, is to know the resources and sufficiency of God.

Unless I am sure I am doing more at home to send the gospel abroad than I can do abroad, I am bound to go.

I like to interpose in all of my appointments, if the Lord wills.

It is all right when God sends us the approval of our fellow men; however, we must never make that approval a motive in our life.

God does not so much want us to do things as to let people see what He can do.

One bright and thankful look at the cross is worth a thousand morbid, self-condemning reflections.

Have we forgotten that there is a Holy Ghost, that we must insist upon walking on crutches when we might fly?

Difficulties and obstacles are God’s challenges to faith. When hindrances confront us in the path of duty, we are to recognize them as vessels for faith to fill with the fullness and all-sufficiency of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is just as truly in us when He makes no sign as when the fountains of joy are overflowing, or the waters of peace are softly refreshing our weary and troubled heart.

Forget yourself and live for others, for It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Unity is the vehicle, desire is the fuel.

We should live out our particular brand of faith, sure – but we should never force our brand of faith upon anyone else. All violence starts with the desire to change others and then never, ever ends.

Remember how the first world war broke out. It broke out as a result of the desire to redivide the world.

The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy’s cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this.

In the Great Society, work shall be an outlet for mans interests and desires. Each individual shall have full opportunity to use his capacities in employment which satisfies personally and contributes generally to the quality of the Nations life.

You’re still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don’t have genuine desire, you won’t be dedicated enough to prepare properly.

There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition.

Using another as a means of satisfaction and security is not love. Love is never security; love is a state in which there is no desire to be secure; it is a state of vulnerability.
