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

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.

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

Reflected peace is the proof that you are right with God because you are at liberty to turn your mind to Him.

Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.

I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.

If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God.
