Sanctification costs to the extent of "an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of all our interests in God.

The touchstone of the Holy Spirit’s work in us is the answer to our Lord’s question: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” Our Lord makes human destiny depend on that one thing, Who men say He is, because the revelation of Who Jesus is is only given by the Holy Spirit.

Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.

But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.

Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint.

No matter who or what we are, God restores us to right standing with Himself only by means of the death of Jesus Christ.

When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.
