Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.

The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God.

A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.

There is no limit to what God can do through us if we are a yielded and purified people.

The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God Himself.
