What I was saved to is much more important than what I was saved from.

When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.

The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.

Cultivating quietness is a missing discipline today...the quietness needed to nurture an inner life hid in Christ.

When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.

To know the Creator and the God of all the universe is to revere Him. It is to bow down before Him in wonder and awesome fear.
