The deadliest Pharisaism today is not hypocrisy, but unconscious unreality.

The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.

If we simply preach the effects of redemption in the human life instead of the revealed, divine truth regarding Jesus Himself, the result is not new birth in those who listen. The result is {only} a refined religious lifestyle . . . we must make sure that we are living in such harmony with God that as we proclaim His truth He can create in others those things which He alone can do.

No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST

The moral miracle of redemption is that God can put a new nature into me through which I can live a totally new life.

Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.
