We fear extremes and shy away from too much ardor in religion as if it were possible to have too much love or too much faith or too much holiness.

The sovereign God wants to be loved for Himself and honoured for Himself, but that is only part of what He wants. The other part is that He wants us to know that when we have Him we have everything - we have all the rest.

It is God who works in and through us, if only we would let God do His work.

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker...The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it.

We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer?
