If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God.

It must be God first, God second, and God third.

Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith; faith based on God's revealed truth is the only faith there is.

One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.

Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master.

Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.

When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'

Our Lord's first obedience was to the will of his Father, not to the needs of men; the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father.

Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.

There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

When you fear God you fear nothing else!

People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that; but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.

Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point -- a great crossroads in our life.

We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great full life of God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus.

In times of prosperity we are apt to forget God; we imagine it does not matter whether we recognise Him or not. As long as we are comfortably clothed and fed and looked after, our civilisation becomes an elaborate means of ignoring God.

Theology must work itself out in the most practical relationships.

Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.

It is better to run the risk of being considered indecisive, better to be uncertain and not promise, than to promise and not fulfill.

Human nature, if healthy, demands excitement; and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics; He makes no passionless saints.
