Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.

To say that 'prayer changes things' is not as close to the truth as saying, 'prayer changes me and then I change things.' God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.

The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.

Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.

We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, and He packs our life with surprises all the time.... Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come.
