It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.
We are only what we are in the dark; all the rest is reputation.
God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.
In times of prosperity we are apt to forget God; we imagine it does not matter whether we recognise Him or not. As long as we are comfortably clothed and fed and looked after, our civilisation becomes an elaborate means of ignoring God.
We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.
