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

Begin to know Him now, and finish never

If there were never any clouds (sorrows and sufferings) in our lives, we would have no faith. God does not come near us without clouds.

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

Do not expect God always to give you His thrilling minutes, but learn to live in the domain of drudgery by the power of God.

We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect; sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.
