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

Begin to know Him now, and finish never

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship - when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.

Do not expect God always to give you His thrilling minutes, but learn to live in the domain of drudgery by the power of God.

Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions.

Our Lord was 30 years preparing for 3 years of service. The modern stamp is to spend 3 hours preparing for 30 years of service.

Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.
