In a conflict of loyalty, obey Jesus at all costs.

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

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

We are not built for the mountains and the dawns and aesthetic affinities, those are for moments of inspiration, that is all. We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle. Spiritual selfishness always wants repeated moments on the mount. We feel we could talk like angels and live like angels, if only we could stay on the mount. The times of exaltation are exceptional, they have their meaning in our life with God, but we must beware lest our spiritual selfishness wants to make them the only time.

Happiness is not a sign that we are right with God; happiness is a sign of satisfaction, that is all, and the majority of us can be satisfied on too low a level.

God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.

One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
