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

Selfishness is never so exquisitely selfish as when it is on its knees. ... Self turns what would otherwise be a pure and powerful prayer into a weak and ineffective one.

We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.

The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only.

Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.

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

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.
