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

Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.

Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents; each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

The only basis on which to work for God is an esteemed appreciation of his deliverance.
