The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us.

What do we value most? What would we most hate to lose? What do our thoughts turn to most frequently when we are free to think of what we will? And finally, what affords us the greatest pleasure?

The Bible was written in tears, and to tears it yields its best treasures.

The heart of the world is breaking under this load of pride and pretense. There is no release from our burden apart from the meekness of Christ.

Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.

God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.

We must break the evil habit of ignoring the spiritual. We must shift our interest from the seen to the unseen.
