Rules for Self Discovery: 1. What we want most; 2. What we think about most; 3. How we use our money; 4. What we do with our leisure time; 5. The company we enjoy; 6. Who and what we admire; 7. What we laugh at.

Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.

Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the quality of popular Christianity year after year till we reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws - like the Shekinah from the temple.

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.

If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.

So, it becomes the devil's business to keep the Christian's spirit imprisoned. He knows that the believing and justified Christian has been raised up out of the grave of his sins. From that point on, Satan works that much harder to keep us bound and gagged, in our own grave clothes. He knows that if we continue in this kind of bondage...we are not much better off than when we were spiritually dead.
