The historic idea that the devil tempts men had this remarkable effect, it produced the man of iron who fought; the modern idea of blaming his heredity or his circumstances produces the man who gives in at once.

We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.

God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.

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

Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more; He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.

Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.

The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ.
