The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us; rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.

Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life; the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.

Honesty that can be trusted and respected is a very fragrant flower in the life of a Christian.

No religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.

Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.

The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.
