There are two classes of Christians: the proud who imagine they are humble and the humble who are afraid they are proud. There should be another class: the self-forgetful who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest.

To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.

Coming before God in quietness & waiting upon Him in silence often can accomplish more than days of feverish activity.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.

Nothing should so occupy the mind of the Christian than discovering God each day.

Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal; and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.

Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.
