I sometimes think that the very essence of the whole Christian position and the secret of a successful spiritual life is just to realize two things... I must have complete, absolute confidence in God and no confidence in myself."

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

If in a Christian pulpit you have no business saying, "I suggest to you" No! "These things I declare to you."

Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.

I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.

The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.

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