Think of this- we may live together with Him here and now, a daily walking with Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.

If God gave it to me," we say "it's mine. I can do what I want with it." No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of - if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory.

It seems disrespectful to me to see ladies in church in very short skirts or skimpy, sleeveless tops. I would imagine that it could be distracting to men who are trying to keep their minds on God.

If God, like a father, denies us what we want now it is in order to give us some far better thing later on. The will of God, we can rest assured, is invariably a better thing.

The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

The man whose eye is single for the glory of Another can be trusted.

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.
