Because we have shut out the Holy Spirit in so many ways, we are stumbling along as though we are spiritually blindfolded.

In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.

To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.

As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor.

Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.
