Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].

I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.

The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us; rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.

If you never mention the Lord in conversation with each other,isn't that proof that you aren't so concerned about Him?

Oh, if we would only remember who God is!

It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world - a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!

Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.
