Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its faith not in the living God, but in dying men.

The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.

As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is his goodness directed toward human debt and demerit.

Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.

God's mercy is boundless, free and, through Jesus Christ our Lord, available to us now in our present situation.
