Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.

When our Lord looked at us, He saw not only what we were -- He was faithful in seeing what we could become! He took away the curse of being and gave us the glorious blessing of becoming.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.

To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.

The glory of God always comes at the sacrifice of self.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.
