Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.

God's grace turns out men and women with a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, not milksops.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you simply given Him a feeble cry after some emotionally painful experience?

At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God's hand until we learn to hear Him...Watch where God puts you into darkness, and when you are there keep your mouth shut. Are you in the dark just now in your circumstances, or in your life with God? Then remain quiet...When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else when you get into the light.

Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
