Spiritual people are not those who engage in certain spiritual practices; they are those who draw their life from a conversational relationship with God.

To withhold our bodies from religion is to exclude religion from our lives.

Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action.

To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures, and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved.

God is the treasure, and where the treasure is, there is the heart. By this we may test our love to God. What are our thoughts most upon? Can we say we are ravished with delight when we think on God? Have our thoughts got wings? Are they fled aloft? Do we contemplate Christ and glory? A sinner crowds God out of his thoughts. He never thinks of God, unless with horror, as the prisoner thinks of the judge.

The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.

The sinner is not the one who uses a lot of grace... The saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on take off.
