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

It is easy to say we believe in God as long as we remain in the little world we choose to live in; but get out into the great world of facts, the noisy world where people are absolutely indifferent to you, where your message is nothing more than a crazy tale belonging to a bygone age, can you believe God there?

If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.

We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.

The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.

Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.

God is not concerned about our plans; He doesn’t ask, “Do you want to go through this loss of a loved one, this difficulty, or this defeat?” No, He allows these things for His own purpose. The things we are going through are either making us sweeter, better, and nobler men and women, or they are making us more critical and fault-finding, and more insistent on our own way. The things that happen either make us evil, or they make us more saintly, depending entirely on our relationship with God and its level of intimacy.
