Nothing in or of this world measures up to the simple pleasure of experiencing the presence of God.

To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.

Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.

Cultivating quietness is a missing discipline today...the quietness needed to nurture an inner life hid in Christ.

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

God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.
