People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

Only one in a thousand sits down in the midst of it all and says—I will watch my Father mend this. God must not be treated as a hospital for our broken “toys,” but as our Father.

The test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is.

Never say you will pray about a thing; pray about it.

Faith that is sure of itself is not faith; faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.

Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
