Happiness is not a sign that we are right with God; happiness is a sign of satisfaction, that is all, and the majority of us can be satisfied on too low a level.

We trample the blood of the Son of God underfoot if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins.

Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference

When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.

Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.

Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
