To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.

It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts

Let us think of a Christian believer in whose life the twin wonders of repentance and the new birth have been wrought. He is now living according to the will of God as he understands it from the written Word. Of such a one it may be said that every act of his life is or can be as truly sacred as prayer or baptism or the Lord's Supper. To say this is not to bring all acts down to one dead level; it is rather to lift every act up into a living kingdom and turn the whole of life into a sacrament.

When we are enjoying the conscious presence of God, we are fulfilling the tenets of our salvation.

We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

I want to live so fully in the Spirit that...every act of my life may be an act of worship.
