When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.

Don't waste time asking God to keep you from doing things. Don't do them.

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.

The crisis will reveal whether we have been practicing or not.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.

Get into the habit of saying, ''Speak, Lord,'' and life will become a romance.
