It appears that too many Christians want to enjoy the thrill of feeling right but are not willing to endure the inconvenience of being right.

Faith in faith is faith astray.

True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.

The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.

A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.

The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.
