“We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.”

There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.

The deepest lessons come out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires.

Sometimes God’s refusals are His mercies.

Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.

If it were not for uncertainties, we would have no need to walk by faith.

Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.

Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!

I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.

A man will be as much of a gentleman as a woman requires.

The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.

You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

Our Heavenly Healer often has to hurt us in order to heal us. We sometimes fail to recognize His mighty love in this, yet we are firmly held always in the Everlasting Arms.

The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.

God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.

A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

When someone like myself points out the rather obvious and compelling evidence that God is cruel and unjust, because he visits suffering on innocent people of a scope and scale that would embarrass the most ambitious psychopath, we’re told that? God is mysterious.

Investing is a business where you can look very silly for a long period of time before you are proven right.

The problem with any ideology is that it gives you the answer before you examine the evidence.

And I believe it to be a signal evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word is really precious to a man ‘s soul.

The main characteristic which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing, and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s Word.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

People who harbor strong convictions without evidence belong at the margins of our societies, not in our halls of power.

The core of science is not a mathematical modeling–it is intellectual honesty. It is a willingness to have our certainties about the world constrained by good evidence and good argument.
