God answers prayer on the ground of Redemption and on no other ground.

All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.

It is the unseen and the spiritual in people that determines the outward and the actual.

The historic idea that the devil tempts men had this remarkable effect, it produced the man of iron who fought; the modern idea of blaming his heredity or his circumstances produces the man who gives in at once.

We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, and He packs our life with surprises all the time.... Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come.

Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.

Prayer is God's answer to our poverty, not a power we exercise to obtain an answer.
