Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another

What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.

When you focus on the eternal, victorious Son of God, you break the devil's heart and render him powerless.

What does this word holiness really mean? Is it a negative kind of piety from which so many people have shied away? No, of course not! Holiness in the Bible means moral wholeness-- a positive quality which actually includes kindness, mercy, purity, moral blamelessness and godliness. It is always to be thought of in a positive, white intensity of degree.

Our self-trust is such a subtle thing that it still comes around whispering to us even after we are sure it is gone.

To pray with your fists closed means you're hanging onto something. Let it go. Open your hands to God.

God wants us to make Jesus Christ the central figure in our church--not just say that we do, but actually do it.
