Our Lord did not say it was wrong to pray in the corners of the street, but He did say it was wrong to have the motive to "be seen of men".

Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God-trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.

The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.

The real test of a saint is not one's willingness to preach the gospel, but one's willingness to do something like washing the disciples' feet - that is, being willing to do those things that seem unimportant in human estimation but count as everything to God.

With Christ, it is not how much we give, but what we do not give that is the real test.

It is the unseen and the spiritual in people that determines the outward and the actual.

The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself.
