Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.

As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.

Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.

The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.

Sometimes when we get overwhelmed we forget how big God is.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

The meek man will attain a place of soul rest. As he walks on in meekness he will be happy to let God defend him. The old struggle to defend himself is over. He has found the peace which meekness brings.
