I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit! All that religious activity and the dear people will not know anything better until the great and terrible day when our self-employed talents are burned with fire and only that which was wrought by the Holy Ghost will stand forever!

We wonder why we don't have faith; the answer is, faith is confidence in the character of God and if we don't know what kind of God God is, we can't have faith.

What now does the divine immanence mean in direct Christian experience? It means simply that God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. Ther eis no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

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

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him.

We must invite the Cross to do its deadly work within before we can be free.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.
