If I am to wholly follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I must forsake everything that is contrary to Him.

Most of the world's great souls have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness... Always remember: you cannot carry a cross in company. Though a man were surrounded by a vast crowd, his cross is his alone and his carrying of it marks him as a man apart. Society has turned against him; otherwise he would have no cross. No one is a friend to the man with a cross.

Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.

For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.

Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.
