People who are crucified with Christ have three distinct marks: 1. they are facing only one direction, 2. they can never turn back, and 3. they no longer have plans of their own.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.

It's time for us to rise up, get out of the rut and routine, and begin to take our Christian faith seriously.

Faith creates nothing; it simply reckons upon that which is already there.

Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

The superior Christian lets God strip him of everything that might serve as a false refuge, a secondary trust.

A true leader will have no desire to lord it over God’s heritage. He is rather ready to follow as well as lead.
