The man who prays ceases to be a fool

God does not exist to answer our prayers, but by our prayers we come to discern the mind of God.

If I obey Jesus Christ in the seemingly random circumstances of life, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God.

If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.

At the back of it there lies the central citadel of obstinacy: I will not give up my right to myself--the thing God intends you to give up if ever you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.

When you meet a man or woman who puts Jesus Christ first, knit that one to your soul.
