Faith that is sure of itself is not faith; faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.

Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.

The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.

God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.

But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.

In the midst of the awesomeness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. You know it is not the hand of restraint, correction, nor chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father.

What the world needs is not 'a little bit of love', but a surgical operation.
