It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.

The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.

Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him.

The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.

Am I always in contact with Reality, or do I only pray when things have gone wrong, when there is a disturbance in the moments of my life?

Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not.
