Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.

The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, "God." The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.

In the conduct of our public worship where is the authority of Christ to be found? The truth is that today the Lord rarely controls a service, and the influence He exerts is very small. We sing of Him and preach about Him, but He must not interfere; we worship our way, and it must be right because we have always done it that way, as have the other churches in our group.

All great Christians have been wounded souls.

True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.

Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.

To desire revival...and at the same time to neglect(personal) prayer and devotion is to wish one way and walk another.
