One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit.

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

Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.

We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.

Beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.

The test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is. We will set up success in Christian work as the aim; the aim is to manifest the glory of God in human life, to live the life hid with Christ in God in human conditions. Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.

If I obey Jesus Christ in the seemingly random circumstances of life, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God.
