There have been prophets and students who handle the Bible like a child's box of bricks; they explain to us the design and structure and purpose; but as time goes on things do not work out in their way at all. They have mistaken the scaffolding for the structure, while all the time God is working out His purpose with a great and undeterred patience.

The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.

The disciple is rich not in possessions, but in personal identity.

Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you simply given Him a feeble cry after some emotionally painful experience?

If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate; and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.

Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him.

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.
