Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.

Our self-trust is such a subtle thing that it still comes around whispering to us even after we are sure it is gone.

Artificiality is one curse that will drop away the moment we kneel at Jesus' feet and surrender ourselves to His meekness. Then we will not care what people think of us so long as God is pleased. Then what we are will be everything; what we appear will take its place far down the scale of interest for us. Apart from sin we have nothing of which to be ashamed. Only an evil desire to shine makes us want to appear other than we are.

People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.

The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.

Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us.
