The laughter of the world is merely loneliness pathetically trying to reassure itself.

Some find it easier to bend their knees than their minds. Exciting exploration is preferred to plodding implementation; speculation seems more fun than consecration, and so is trying to soften the hard doctrines instead of submitting to them. Worse still, by not obeying, these . . . lack real knowing. Lacking real knowing, they cannot defend their faith and may become critics instead of defenders!

Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.

Education brightens a darkened world.

Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.

Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.

We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
