The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

After my study of today's church, my conclusion is that the church is politely bored with God.

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

The man who is seriously convinced that he deserves hell is not likely to go there, while the man who believes that he is worthy of heaven will certainly never enter that blessed place.

If I am to wholly follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I must forsake everything that is contrary to Him.

Artificiality is one curse that will drop away the moment we kneel at Jesus' feet and surrender ourselves to His meekness. Then we will not care what people think of us so long as God is pleased. Then what we are will be everything; what we appear will take its place far down the scale of interest for us. Apart from sin we have nothing of which to be ashamed. Only an evil desire to shine makes us want to appear other than we are.
