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

We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.

If God takes away from us the old, wrinkled, beat-up dollar bill we have clutched so desperately, it is only because He wants to exchange it for the whole Federal mint, the entire treasury! He is saying to us, 'I have in store for you all the resources of heaven. Help yourself.'

The essence of surrender is getting out of God's way so that He can do in us what He also wants to do through us.

We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him.

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.

Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
