There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.

Faith must be tested, because it can be turned into a personal possession only through conflict.

We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.

The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.

We always have visions, before a thing is made real. When we realize that although the vision is real, it is not real in us, then is the time that Satan comes in with his temptations, and we are apt to say that it is no use to go on. Instead of the vision becoming real, there has come the valley of humiliation.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
