Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ.

It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.

Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.

Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.

God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.

God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
