To accept Christ is to know the meaning of the words 'as he is, so are we in this world.' We accept his friends as our friends, his enemies as our enemies, his ways as our ways, his rejection as our rejection, his cross as our cross, his life as our life and his future as our future. If this is what we mean when we advise the seeker to accept Christ, we had better explain it to him. He may get into deep spiritual trouble unless we do.

God cannot use a man or woman greatly until he wounds them deeply.

Prayer for revival will prevail when it is accompanied by radical amendment of life; not before.

When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on earth.

The Christian church was designed to make sinners sweat. I have always believed that, and I still believe it. The messages preached in our churches should make backslidden Christians sweat. And if I achieve that objective when I preach, I thank God with all of my heart, no matter what people think of me.

Quoting Scripture leads you to the fountain, but only if you plunge in and come up wet will I know that you are a Christian.

Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.
