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

If a man cannot prove his religion in the valley, it is not worth anything.

God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.

In the spiritual domain, criticism is love turned sour... If criticism becomes a habit, it will destroy the moral energy of the life and paralyze the spiritual force... Whenever you are in a critical temper, it is impossible to enter into communion with God. Criticism makes you hard and vindictive and cruel, and leaves you with the flattering unction that you are a superior person. It is impossible to develop the characteristics of a saint and maintain a critical attitude.

Am I prepared to let God grip me by His power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself?
