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

Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.

I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.

Once the call of God comes to you, start going and never stop.

It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .

If we are to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
