Distractions must be conquered or they will conquer us. So let us cultivate simplicity; let us walk in the Spirit.

God's plan will continue on God's schedule.

We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.

Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there.

God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.

Everything God does has purpose and intention behind that design. It is a master design, and every little thing has its proper place and function.

In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists. God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: The man who would know God must give time to Him.
