God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.

The Christian life is stamped by 'moral spontaneous originality,' consequently the disciple is open to the same charge that Jesus Christ was, viz., that of inconsistency. But Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds. Men pour themselves into creeds, and God has to blast them out of their prejudices before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.

No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST

We can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the culture of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail.

Abandonment to God is of more value than personal holiness!

Never run away with the idea that it doesn't matter much what we believe or think; it does. What we believe and think, we are; not what we say we believe and think, but what we really do believe and think, we are; there is no divorce at all.

Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.
