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

Man must choose his world

Only as He is faithful will His covenants stand and His promises be honored. Only as we have complete assurance that He is faithful may we live in peace and look forward with assurance to the life to come.

The key to prayer is simply praying.

God created our souls to be satisfied only with the divine everlastingness of the Word made flesh.

God cannot use a man or woman greatly until he wounds them deeply.

Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.
