When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to... The truth is that salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred scripture... Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility.

We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.

Listen to no man who has not listened to God.

God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that He can, without anything other than Himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.

God's Word is true whether we believe it or not. Human unbelief cannot alter the character of God.

Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God
