When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.

If you are going on with God, the only thing that is clear to you, and the only thing God intends to be clear, is the way He deals with your own soul.

Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God. Don't say, "I will endure this until I can get away and pray." Pray now - draw on the grace of God in your moment of need. Prayer is the most normal and useful thing; it is not simply a reflex action of your devotion to God. We are very slow to learn to draw on God's grace through prayer.

I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.

The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here.

An unguarded strength is a double weakness.

It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
