The heart of the world is breaking under this load of pride and pretense. There is no release from our burden apart from the meekness of Christ.

I fear that for the most part people are worshiping worship rather than worshiping God and communing with Him.

Most of the world's great souls have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness... Always remember: you cannot carry a cross in company. Though a man were surrounded by a vast crowd, his cross is his alone and his carrying of it marks him as a man apart. Society has turned against him; otherwise he would have no cross. No one is a friend to the man with a cross.

Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.

God sees us perfect in His Son while He disciplines and chastens and purges us that we may be partakers of His holiness.

I'm not afraid of the devil. The devil can handle me - he's got judo I never heard of. But he can't handle the One to whom I'm joined; he can't handle the One to whom I'm united; he can't handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.
