It is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage; oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!

We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.

God's grace turns out men and women with a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, not milksops.

God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.

There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.

Why shouldn’t we experience heartbreak? Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of God’s purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son, as if to say, “Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.” If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
