We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails. When 'important' individuals go away we are sad, until we see that they are meant to go, so that only one thing is left for us to do--to look into the face of God for ourselves.

We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.

God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.

When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.

The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God; it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.

We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

Narrow all your interests until the attitude of mind and heart and body is concentration on Jesus Christ.
