I care not what black spiritual crisis we may come through or what delightful spiritual Canaan we may enter, no blessing of the Christian life becomes continually possessed unless we are men and women of regular, daily, unhurried secret lingerings in prayer.

True consecration to Christ simplifies life, for it leaves the management to Him.

Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers.

Regeneration is the fountain; sanctification is the river.

Argument need not be heated; it can be punctuated with courteous smiles - or sympathetic tears.

He is indeed the 'Lamb.' There is nothing harsh or haughty or retaliative about Him.

Bethlehem and Golgotha, the Manger and the Cross, the birth and the death, must always be seen together.
