With Christ, it is not how much we give, but what we do not give that is the real test.

If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.

We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.

It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.

It is better to run the risk of being considered indecisive, better to be uncertain and not promise, than to promise and not fulfill.

In times of prosperity we are apt to forget God; we imagine it does not matter whether we recognise Him or not. As long as we are comfortably clothed and fed and looked after, our civilisation becomes an elaborate means of ignoring God.

Prayer is God's answer to our poverty, not a power we exercise to obtain an answer.
