God will allow us to follow self-help, self-improvement programs until we have tried them all, until we finally come to the honest confession, ‘I can't do it. I can't be righteous in my own strength!’ It is then, when we admit our utter powerlessness, that we find hope. For it is then when the Lord intervenes to do a work that we could not do for ourselves.

Though prayer doesn't change God's mind or God's purposes, prayer does change something- It changes us.

The purpose is not that you might get more of the Holy Spirit, but that the Holy Spirit might get more of you.

You have only one life and it will soon be past, and only what's done for Christ will last.

Our heart is like a reservoir from which our lives flow.

There's a difference between losing your salvation and leaving your salvation. If you lose something, you don't know where to find it. You can't lose your salvation because you always know where to find it; you can only leave it.

[Satan] has been thoroughly defeated and only holds people by usurped authority and power.
