God formed us for His pleasure, and so formed us that we as well as He can in divine communion enjoy the sweet and mysterious mingling of kindred personalities. He meant us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.

The superior Christian lets God strip him of everything that might serve as a false refuge, a secondary trust.

No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.

God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.

Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.

Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.

Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.
