We look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.

Faith by its very nature must be tried, and the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our own minds. Faith in its actual working out has to go through spells of unsyllabled isolation. Never confound the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life. Much that we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive.

Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, “Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much”?

Keep your soul fit to manifest the life of the Son of God. Never live on memories; let the word of God be always living and active in you.

The resentment of discipline of any kind will warp the whole life away from God's purpose.

Pray because you have a Father, not because it quietens you, and give Him time to answer.

Jesus Christ out-socialists the socialists. He says that in His Kingdom he that is greatest shall be the servant of all. The real test of the saint is not preaching the gospel, but washing disciples' feet, that is, doing the things that do not count in the actual estimate of men but count everything in the estimate of God.
