One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.

I am Thy servant to do Thy will, and that will is sweeter to me than position or riches or fame, and I choose it above all things on Earth or in Heaven.

It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.

If in our Saturday pursuits we're far from God's presence, we're not in very good shape to worship Him on Sunday.

It is time for us to seek again the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Man's lordship has cost us too much.

What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last day... It would be better to invite God now to remove every false trust, to disengage our hearts from all secret hiding places and to bring us out into the open where we can discover for ourselves whether or not we actually trust Him. That is a harsh cure for our troubles, but it is a sure one. Gentler cures may be too weak to do the work. And time is running out on us.

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.
