It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.

The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.

Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.

The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us. God calls us to His service and places tremendous responsibilitie s on us. He expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part. God wants to use us as He used His own Son.

The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon

If God sees that my spiritual life will be furthered by giving the things for which I ask, then He will give them, but that is not the end of prayer. The end of prayer is that I come to know God Himself.

You may often have to watch Jesus Christ wreck a life before He saves it.
