You must be made miserable before you can know true Christian joy. Indeed the real trouble with the miserable Christian is that he has never been truly made miserable because of conviction of sin. He has by-passed the essential preliminary to joy, he has been assuming something that he has no right to assume.

Conviction is not repentance; conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian; you cannot be partly a Christian. You are either "dead" or "alive"; you are either "born" or "not born".

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.

Faith is the refusal to panic.

All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.

If you can explain what is happening in a church, apart from the sovereign act of God, it is not revival.
