There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God.

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts

Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.

All great Christians have been wounded souls.

When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. What he is or is not no longer concerns him. He believes that he has been crucified with Christ and he is not willing either to praise or deprecate such a man.

The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.
