One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.

The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people.

As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.

God works as long as His people live daringly; He ceases when they no longer need His aid.

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

A holy man isn't aware that he's holy..As soon as we begin to talk about how holy we are, we aren't holy any more.

Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.
