“We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.”

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.

Take this as the secret of Christ’s life in you: His Spirit dwells in your innermost spirit. Meditate on it, believe in it, and remember it until this glorious truth produces within you a holy fear and wonderment that the Holy Spirit indeed abides in you.

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.

Our prayers lay the track down which Gods power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.

Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.

I must first have the sense of God’s possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.

May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.

I didn’t really want to be in the lifestyle without the music. And I didn’t want to be in the music without the lifestyle.

Everyone wants to be safe. Well, I got news for you: You can’t be safe. Life’s not safe. Your work isn’t safe.

You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. It’s a dangerous world.

Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.

I couldn’t be a royal. It’s like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl.

I don’t believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front.

I’m not afraid of death. How can you be afraid of something that’s inevitable?
