The aim is never to become a master of the Word, but to be mastered by it.

The way you lose the gospel is not by denying it, but by assuming it.

The way to be anxious about nothing is to be prayerful about everything.

How much would our churches be transformed if each of us made it a practice to thank God for others and then to tell those others what it is about them that we thank God for?

Good praying is more easily caught than taught.

There is a certain kind of maturity that can be attained only through the discipline of suffering.

When you are converted, you want to do what you didn't want to do before, and you don't want to do what you wanted to do before. There's a change in the heart; there's a cleaning up, a change in orientation, and holiness becomes attractive, instead of something you have to put up with to figure out what you can get away with. As long as young people are asking, 'Can I get away with this?' or 'Can I get away with that?' I wonder if they're regenerate. If they're asking, instead, 'How can I grow in holiness?' then I suspect they've begun to understand.
