Confidence in the natural world is self-reliance; in the spiritual world, it is God-reliance.

Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.

The one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.

At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.

Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine in real life.

A practical help in keeping your personal purity unblemished in your relations with other people is to begin to see them as God does. Say to yourself, “That man or that woman is perfect in Christ Jesus! That friend or that relative is perfect in Christ Jesus!

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.
