When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!

I find that many men and women are troubled by the thought that they are too small and inconsequential in the scheme of things. But that is not our real trouble - we are actually too big and too complex, for God made us in His image and we are too big to be satisfied with what the world offers us!.. Man is bored, because he is too big to be happy with that which sin is giving him. God has made him too great, his potential is too mighty.

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 neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.

Many Christians are satisfied with their destination but they neglect the journey.

Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.
