The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.

A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.

It's service, not status, that counts.

Patience helps us to view imperfections in others more generously to the end that we may learn to be more wise than they have been.

How can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'

We are so busy constantly checking our own temperatures, we fail to notice the burning fevers of others.

If, in the end, you have not chosen Jesus Christ it will not matter what you have chosen.
