Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.

You do not know what you are going to do,the only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......It is this attitude that keeps you in perpetual wonder-you do not know what God is going to do next.

No matter who or what we are, God restores us to right standing with Himself only by means of the death of Jesus Christ.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.

Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

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

When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
