All that God requires of us is an opportunity to show what He can do.

The difference between human heroes and sacred characters lies just in this: the man is just a man, but behind the man of God, God Himself is ever standing greater than the man and overshadowing him by His infinite and glorious presence.

Be brave. Cowards always get hurt. Brave men generally come out unharmed.

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

God never can use any man very much till he has grace enough to forget himself entirely while doing God's work; for He will not give His glory to another nor share with the most valued instrument the praise that belongs to Jesus Christ alone.

Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places. Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.

May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.
