The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life; it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.

God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.

There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. Let everything else go, but maintain that at all cost, and God will fulfill His purpose through your life. (This includes meeting the needs of your heart.) One individual life may be of priceless value to God's purposes, and yours may be that life.

Continually revise your relationship to God until the only certainty you have is not that you are faithful, but that He is.

Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.

The heart of salvation is the Cross of Christ. The reason salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much. The Cross was the place where God and sinful man merged with a tremendous collision and where the way to life was opened. But all the cost and pain of the collision was absorbed by the heart of God.

Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
