We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.

Some prayers are followed by silence (from God) because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than one can understand. It will be a wonderful moment for some of us when we stand before God and find that the prayers we clamored for in early days and imagined were never answered, have been answered in the most amazing way, and that God's silence has been the sign of the answer.

It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.

If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.

The key to the missionary's work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don't go- He simply says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...."

Never be hurried out of the relationship of abiding in Him.

I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God.
