“Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work.”

It is important to receive God’s arrangement in the circumstances. This arrangement is the discipline of the Holy Spirit. To escape God’s arrangement just one time is to lose an opportunity to have our capacity enlarged. A believer can never be the same after passing through suffering.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.

Christ is the Son of God. He died to atone for men’s sin, and after three days rose again. This is the most important fact in the universe. I die believing in Christ.

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

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?

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.

A heathen philosopher once asked a Christian, ‘Where is God’? The Christian answered, ‘Let me first ask you, Where is He not?’

Christianity is a pestilent superstition.

Christianity is a pestilent superstition.

Aggressive Christianity is the world’s greatest need.

The Christian is not obedient unless he is doing all in his power to send the Gospel to the heathen world.

Christ rises above all things.

No honest theologian therefore can deny that his acceptance of Jesus as Christ logically binds every Christian to a belief in reincarnation – in Elias case (who was later John the Baptist) at least.
