The scriptures are in print what Christ is in person.

What I was saved to is much more important than what I was saved from.

We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.

God does not stop at rescuing us; the purpose of that rescue is to enjoy fellowship with us.

To accept Christ is to know the meaning of the words 'as he is, so are we in this world.' We accept his friends as our friends, his enemies as our enemies, his ways as our ways, his rejection as our rejection, his cross as our cross, his life as our life and his future as our future. If this is what we mean when we advise the seeker to accept Christ, we had better explain it to him. He may get into deep spiritual trouble unless we do.

Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.

The more fascinated we become with the toys of this world, the more we forget that there's another world to come.
