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.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.

What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.

It is doubtful we can be Christian in anything unless we are Christian in everything.

The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.

It is time for us to seek again the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Man's lordship has cost us too much.

We fear extremes and shy away from too much ardor in religion as if it were possible to have too much love or too much faith or too much holiness.
