I can't sing a lick but that's nobody's business. God listens when I sing to Him and He thinks I am an opera star.

Do not allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that unique quality God has breathed into you.

Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization. And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is eternity.

Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down by destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength before going out to face the world again.

[Prayer] takes no time, but it occupies all our time.

The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.

We know how God would act if he were in our place - he has been in our place.
