Speak, Lord”; make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”

Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents; each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.

When God gives us a vision, we must transact business with Him at that point, no matter what the cost.

Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.

To silence the Voice of God is damnation in time!

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.

God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.
