Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God

There are rare Christians whose very presence incites others to be better Christians. I want to be that rare Christian.

In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane; we leave it at the cross.

I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.

What I was saved to is much more important than what I was saved from.

Until we believe that we are as bad as God says we are, we can never believe that He will do for us what He says He will do. Right here is where popular religion breaks down.
