There cannot be two absolutely free beings in the universe, for sooner or later two completely free wills must collide.

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God's kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

Are you satisfied being filled with good information about God, or do you long to burst into His manifest presence?

We who live in this nervous age would be wise to meditate on our lives and our days long and often before the face of God and on the edge of eternity. For we are made for eternity as certainly as we are made for time, and as responsible moral beings we must deal with both.

The world is waiting to hear an authentic voice, a voice from God- not an echo of what others are doing and saying, but an authentic voice.

My miseries have always come out of my own flesh, never from any burden Jesus has laid on me.

The pain of sacrificing our old selves is nothing compared to the joy of Christ living in us in our transformed lives.
