I have found God to be cordial and generous and in every way easy to live with.

We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.

God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.

Is it ever possible to overdo the talking about the glory of Christ? Is it ever too often to be in God's presence?

The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith. The two are at opposite sides of the same coin.

Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer?

To escape the error of salvation by works we have fallen into the opposite error of salvation without obedience.
