Watch human nature; we are so built that if we do not get thrilled in the right way, we will get thrilled in the wrong. If we are without the thrill of communion with God, we will try to get thrilled by the devil, or by some concoction of human ingenuity.

Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.

Human nature, if healthy, demands excitement; and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics; He makes no passionless saints.

Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.

Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.

God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.

It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
