Go to church once a week and nobody pays attention. Worship God seven days a week and you become strange!

As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.

I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind.

Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.

Cultivating quietness is a missing discipline today...the quietness needed to nurture an inner life hid in Christ.

Whatever God felt about anything, He still feels. Whatever He thought about anyone, He still thinks. Whatever He approved, He still approves. Whatever He condemned, He still condemns. Today we have what they call the relativity of morals. But remember this God never changes. Holiness and righteousness are conformity to the will of God. And the will of God never changes for moral creatures.

True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.
