God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with.

God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ; He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.

If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed. I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?

Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.

The whole point of getting things done is knowing what to leave undone.

Be persistent with your disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord himself. Don't deify common sense.

Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.
