Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.

Depression tends to turn us away from the everyday things of God’s creation. But whenever God steps in, His inspiration is to do the most natural, simple things- things we would never have imagined God was in, but as we do them we find Him there.

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

Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God's word fit in?

The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

We will suffer a sharp painful disullisionment before we fully surrender. When people really see themselves as the Lord sees them, it is not the terribly offensive sins of the fleshthat shock them, but the awful nature of the pride of their own hearts opposing Jesus Christ. When they see themselves in the light of the Lord, the shame, the horror, and desperate conviction hit home for them.

God speaks in the language you know best - not through your ears, but through your circumstances.
