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

I cannot recall, in any of my reading, a single instance of a prophet who applied for the job.

Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being they are dedicated to the task of accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself. The philosopher and the scientist will admit that there is much that they do not know; but that is quite another thing from admitting there is something which they can never know, which indeed they have no technique for discovering.

Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try to live as if things were 'normal.' Nothing is normal while sin and lust and death roam the world, pouncing upon one and another till the whole population has been destroyed.

People who are crucified with Christ have three distinct marks: 1. they are facing only one direction, 2. they can never turn back, and 3. they no longer have plans of their own.

As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.

Abounding sin is the terror of the world, but abounding grace is the hope of mankind.
