What God declares the believing heart confesses without the need of further proof. Indeed, to seek proof is to admit doubt, and to obtain proof is to render faith superfluous.

To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.

If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity. Now as always God discovers Himself to "babes" and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.

We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.

If we take away any of the attributes of God, we do not weaken God but we weaken our concept of God.

Let me never become a slave to crowds.

Faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all.
