Faith is a re-directing of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus.

The Bible is a supernatural book and can be understood only by supernatural aid.

Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another

We must meet the uncertainties of this world with the certainty of the world to come.

In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.

...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.

There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.
