We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is.

The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.

Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.

Get into the habit of saying, ''Speak, Lord,'' and life will become a romance.

I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.

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

Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.
