Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.

Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.

How many people have you made homesick for God?

The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.

Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.

Spiritual character is only made by standing loyal to God's character, no matter what distress the trial of faith brings. The distress and agony the prophets experienced was the agony of believing God when everything that was happening contradicted what they proclaimed Him to be; there was nothing to prove that God was just and true, but everything to prove the opposite.

Before God can use a man greatly he must wound him deeply.
