For every discouragement has been allowed to come to us in order that through it we may be cast in utter helplessness at the Saviour's feet.

There is no circumstance, no trouble, no testing, that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with great purpose.

How far must a Christian go in order to be saved? Only to the Cross. But if I am disobeying God in my life and cast off His law, it is an absolute declaration of the fact that within my heart I have abandoned worship at the Cross.

Our god is the thing, or person, which we think most precious, for whom we would make the greatest sacrifice, and who moves our heart with the warmest love. He is the person or thing that if lost would leave us desolate.

Let's keep our chins up and our knees down - we're on the victory side.

The secret of every discord in Christian homes and communities and churches is that we seek our own way and our own glory.

The Christian life doesn't get easier as one gets older.
