You pray and make your requests made known unto God, and God will do something.' It is not your prayer that is going to do it, it is not you who is going to do it, but God. 'The peace of God that passeth all understanding'-He, through it all, 'will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus'.

We all tend to go to extremes; some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more; others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no "either/or" here; it is always "both/and." These two things must go together.

The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.

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

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

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.

There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.
