God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.

It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of all self-considerat ion and learn to care about only one thing-the relationship between Christ and ourselves.

Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.

For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus-it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.

The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.

Beware of the inclination to dictate to God what consequences you would allow as a condition of your obedience to Him.
