The most vital question to ask about all who claim to be Christian is this: Have they a soul thirst for God? ... Is their life centered on Him? Do they press forward more and more that they might know Him.

You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.

The eternal everlasting God has become our Father and the moment we realize that, it transforms everything.

Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

The gospel is not something partial or piecemeal: it takes in the whole life, the whole of history, the whole world. It tells us about creation and the final judgment and everything in between.

There are ideas in our hearts, there are wishes, there are aspirations, there are groanings, there are sighings that the world knows nothing about; but God knows them. So words are not always necessary. When we cannot express our feelings except in wordless groanings, God knows exactly what is happening.

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