The Christian faith is ultimately not only a matter of doctrine or understanding or of intellect, it is a condition of the heart.

The ultimate cause of spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief, even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks.

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

Though we claim to believe the whole of Scripture, in practice we frequently deny much of it by ignoring it.

Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.

There is a very real danger of our putting our faith in our sermon rather than in the Spirit. Our faith should not be in the sermon, it should be in the Holy Spirit Himself.

Spiritual depression or unhappiness in the Christian life is very often due to our failure to realize the greatness of the gospel.
