Theology must work itself out in the most practical relationships.

We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him.

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.

God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?

The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.

We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is.
