In an effort to get the work of the Lord done we often lose contact with the Lord of work.

At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself waiting for His redeemed children to push in to conscious awareness of His Presence.

The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed... The heart's fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest.

It is necessary for God to use the hammers, the file, and the furnace in His holy work of preparing a saint for true sainthood. It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

We must never rest until everything inside us worships God.

Because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.
