Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.

Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything.

The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is not--Do your duty, but--Do what is not your duty. It is not your duty to go the second mile, to turn the other cheek, but Jesus says if we are His disciples we shall always do these things. There will be no spirit of--"Oh, well, I cannot do any more, I have been so misrepresented and misunderstood". . . Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We are always looking for justice; the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is--Never look for justice, but never cease to live it.

We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself.

When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.

We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.
