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

One of the purest souls ever to live on this fallen planet was Nicholas Herman, known as Brother Lawrence. He wrote very little, but what he wrote has seemed to several generations of Christians to be so rare and so beautiful as to deserve a place near the top among the world's great books of devotion. The writings of Brother Lawrence are the ultimate in simplicity; ideas woven like costly threads to make a pattern of great beauty.

God works as long as His people live daringly; He ceases when they no longer need His aid.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.

It is useless for large companies of believers to spend long hours begging God to send revival. Unless we intend to reform we may as well not pray. Unless praying men have the insight and faith to amend their whole way of life to conform to the New Testament pattern there can be no true revival.

Some people's lives would drastically change if they would obey God as strictly as they obey their doctors.

Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.
