Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.

Faith creates nothing; it simply reckons upon that which is already there.

Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.

I want to be in a place where I have to have God in everything I do . . . where God is indispensable to me.

To know God is to fear Him. And this fear is to love Him as He deserves to be loved.

The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.

Any sermon that is not birthed in prayer is not a message from God no matter how learned the preacher.
