We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.

The man who remains in his sin will be damned just as surely as the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west.

God is never satisfied with anything less than all.

When we become too glib in prayer we are most surely talking to ourselves.

So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.

Prayer for revival will prevail when it is accompanied by radical amendment of life; not before.

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.
