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!

No man gives anything acceptable to God until has has first given himself in love and sacrifice.

To pray without expectation is to misunderstand the whole concept of prayer and relationship with God.

Because we have shut out the Holy Spirit in so many ways, we are stumbling along as though we are spiritually blindfolded.

As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.

If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.

The moment the Spirit has quickened us to life in regeneration our whole being senses its kinship to God and leaps up in joyous recognition. That is the heavenly birth without which we cannot see the Kingdom of God. It is, however, not an end but an inception, for now begins the glorious pursuit, the heart's happy exploration of the infinite riches of the Godhead.
