God doesn't work through us because we're flawless; rather, He works through us in spite of our imperfections.

I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit! All that religious activity and the dear people will not know anything better until the great and terrible day when our self-employed talents are burned with fire and only that which was wrought by the Holy Ghost will stand forever!

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

Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.

What I was saved to is much more important than what I was saved from.

What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts
