Never water down or minimise the mighty Gospel of God by considering that people may be misled by certain statements. Present the Gospel in all its fullness and God will guard His own truth.

Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.

See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.

Have you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you simply given Him a feeble cry after some emotionally painful experience?

Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.

No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

It is in the middle that human choices are made; the beginning and the end remain with God. The decrees of God are birth and death, and in between those limits man makes his own distress or joy.
