The moral miracle of redemption is that God can put a new nature into me through which I can live a totally new life.

Trust God, and do the next thing.

The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.

Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.

God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

If we are to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.
