Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.

The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses. There can be nothing more terrible or wonderful than to be stricken with love for Christ so deeply that the whole being goes out in a pained adoration of His person, an adoration that disturbs and disconcerts while it purges and satisfies and relaxes the deep inner heart.

As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace.

Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence.

Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.

It is a high Christian privilege to pray for one another within each local church body and then for other believers throughout the world. As a Christian minister, I have no right to preach to people I have not prayed for. That is my strong conviction.
