The meetings least attended in our churches today are the ones whose only attraction is God.

When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.

When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.

Love is both a principle and an emotion; it is something both felt and willed. It is capable of almost infinite degrees. Love in the human heart may begin so modestly as to be hardly perceptible and go on to become a raging torrent that sweeps its possessor before it in total helplessness.

Christians should be the boldest people in the world-not cocky and sure of ourselves, but sure of Him.

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.
