We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.

An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.

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

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.

If the Lord's people were only half as eager to be filled with the Spirit as they are to prove that they cannot be filled, the church would be crowded out.

We are not revived because we sing; we sing because we are revived.

It's time for us to rise up, get out of the rut and routine, and begin to take our Christian faith seriously.
