To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.

Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity.

The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice/any choice will be the right one.

May God grant us a desire for God that supersedes all other desires.

The Christian's heart must be soaked in prayer before the true spiritual fruits begin to grow.

We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.
