Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.

If we possess nothing, God will allow us to have plenty.

The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.

The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.

God expects of us only what He Himself has supplied.

As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.

It requires a serious mind and a determined heart to pray past the ordinary into the unusual.
