Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.

Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.

You do not know what you are going to do,the only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......It is this attitude that keeps you in perpetual wonder-you do not know what God is going to do next.

Our Lord's conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.

The aim of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the heathan; he is useful and does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.

Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.
