Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.

Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.

We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

By the supernatural miracle of God's grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done.

Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.

Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.
