When a man is born from above, the life of the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished. Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; the Bible's idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

There are not three stages in spiritual life-worship, waiting, and work. Some of us go in jumps like spiritual frogs. We jump from worship to waiting to work. God's idea is that the three should go together. They were always together in the life of our Lord.

God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.

Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.

Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?

Never water down or minimise the mighty Gospel of God by considering that people may be misled by certain statements. Present the Gospel in all its fullness and God will guard His own truth.
