Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.

If we possess nothing, God will allow us to have plenty.

We are called not to adjust ourselves to each other, but to adjust ourselves to God.

You will never please everybody. Some men will say you have gone too far. Other men will say you haven't gone far enough. I just compromise and say I won't please anybody.

If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition you know that you are God's child, you know it by the text but you also know it by the inner light, the inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever reason you out of it.

Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time.

The great test of faith is to wait on God. . . not expecting to push a button and get whatever we want now.
