We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.

If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God.

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.

People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

Beware of making a fetish of consistency to your convictions instead of being devoted to God.

God never fits His word to suit me; He fits me to suit His word.

The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
