When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on earth.

God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.

Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us, yet if we withhold ourselves from that blood, we will be unclean forever.

We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.

The inner life must overcome the flesh or the flesh will overcome and destroy the inner life.

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.

The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!
