True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.

God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.

It is because of the hasty and superficial conversation with God that the sense of sin is so weak and that no motives have power to help you to hate and flee from sin as you should.

In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists. God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: The man who would know God must give time to Him.

Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.

If you do all the talking when you pray, how will you ever hear God's answers?

Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.
