The reason I am a Christian is not that it is nice, but that it is true.

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.

The major mark of justified believers is joy, especially joy in God himself. We should be the most positive people in the world. For the new community of Jesus Christ is characterized not by a self-centered triumphalism but by a God-centered worship.

Do not be content with a static Christian life. Determine rather to grow in faith and love, in knowledge and holiness.

Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account. We should not therefore rate human opinion too highly.

God must speak to us before we have any liberty to speak to him. He must disclose to us who he is before we can offer him what we are in acceptable worship. The worship of God is always a response to the Word of God. Scripture wonderfully directs and enriches our worship.

As a body without breath is a corpse, so the church without the Spirit is dead.
