The superior Christian lets God strip him of everything that might serve as a false refuge, a secondary trust.

The greatest encouragement throughout the Bible is God's love for His lost race and the willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show forth that love in God's plan of redemption. The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows no boundaries. At the point where we stop caring and loving, Jesus is still there loving and caring

We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.

The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.

Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.

It is possible that we can get so busy doing work 'for' the Lord that we have no time FOR the Lord.

When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.
