When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord’s own character. Beware of anything that would spot or tarnish that mirror in you. It is almost always something good that will stain it- something good, but not what is best.

When you pray, things remain the same, but you begin to be different. The same thing when a man falls in love, his circumstances and conditions remain the same, but he has a sovereign preference in his heart for another person which transfigures everything!

To say that 'prayer changes things' is not as close to the truth as saying, 'prayer changes me and then I change things.' God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

There is always one fact more in every man's case about which we know nothing.

Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.

There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
