Religious externals may have meaning for the God-inhabited soul; for any others they are not only useless but may actually become snares, deceiving them into a false and perilous sense of security.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

Nothing in or of this world measures up to the simple pleasure of experiencing the presence of God.

I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to... The truth is that salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred scripture... Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility.

Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.

We are too quick to live this life and forget that there is another world to come...this is not the end.

We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.
