Nothing is complete in itself but requires something outside itself in order to exist.

The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.

In the conduct of our public worship where is the authority of Christ to be found? The truth is that today the Lord rarely controls a service, and the influence He exerts is very small. We sing of Him and preach about Him, but He must not interfere; we worship our way, and it must be right because we have always done it that way, as have the other churches in our group.

The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.

Men who refuse to worship the true God now worship themselves with tender devotion.

The purpose of God isn't to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.
