The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'

The central point of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is a personal relationship with Him, not public usefulness to others.

Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents; each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST

The Holy Ghost is the only One who can detect the temptations of Satan, neither our common sense nor our human wisdom can detect them as temptations.
