Love for the Lord is not an ethereal, intellectual, dreamlike thing; it is the intensest, most vital, most passionate love of which the human heart is capable.

Never make a principle out of your experience. Allow God to be as creative with others as He is with you.

When I see Jesus Christ I simply want to be what He wants me to be.

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

When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God. Some people mature into an understanding of God’s will more quickly than others because they obey more readily; they more readily sacrifice the life of nature to the will of God.

If we simply preach the effects of redemption in the human life instead of the revealed, divine truth regarding Jesus Himself, the result is not new birth in those who listen. The result is {only} a refined religious lifestyle . . . we must make sure that we are living in such harmony with God that as we proclaim His truth He can create in others those things which He alone can do.
