We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.

Many of us Christians have become extremely skillful in arranging our lives so as to admit the truth of Christianity without being embarrassed by its implications. We arrange things so that we can get on well enough without divine aid, while at the same time ostensibly seeking it. We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.

My miseries have always come out of my own flesh, never from any burden Jesus has laid on me.

Many things about our salvation are beyond our comprehension, but not beyond our trust.

Philosophy and science have not always been friendly toward the idea of God, the reason being they are dedicated to the task of accounting for things and are impatient with anything that refuses to give an account of itself. The philosopher and the scientist will admit that there is much that they do not know; but that is quite another thing from admitting there is something which they can never know, which indeed they have no technique for discovering.

Quoting Scripture leads you to the fountain, but only if you plunge in and come up wet will I know that you are a Christian.

The blessed and inviting truth is that God is the most winsome of all beings and in our worship of Him we should find unspeakable pleasure.
