God’s training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. we have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we can get it wrong when we think of the afterwards. what men call training and preparation, God calls the end… if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment is precious.

The thing that awakens the deepest fountain of gratitude in a human being is that God has forgiven his sin.

To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.

Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.

If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.

A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
