The scrutiny we give other people should be for ourselves.

Wait on God and He will work, but don't wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see an inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.

Continually revise your relationship to God until the only certainty you have is not that you are faithful, but that He is.

A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.

Never be hurried out of the relationship of abiding in Him.

If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate; and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.

There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.
