Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling - feelings don't help much when you're in the lions' den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work. It is an act of will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed us what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.

Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.

I seek the lessons God wants to teach me, and that means that I ask why.

Things happen which would not happen without prayer. Let us not forget that.

Holiness has never been the driving force of the majority. It is, however, mandatory for anyone who wants to enter the kingdom.

I'm convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
