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

Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.

Judas Iscariot was not a greatly wicked person, just a common money-lover, and like most money-lovers, he did not understand Christ.

We are too quick to live this life and forget that there is another world to come...this is not the end.

Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.

God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.

Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
