Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation; we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.

The characteristic of a disciple is not that he does good things, but that he is good in his motives, having been made good by the supernatural grace of God.

The Christian life is stamped by 'moral spontaneous originality,' consequently the disciple is open to the same charge that Jesus Christ was, viz., that of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds. Men pour themselves into creeds, and God has to blast them out of their prejudices before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.

You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.

Trust no one, not even the finest saint who ever walked this earth, ignore him, if he hinders your sight of Jesus Christ.

Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
