There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.

The whole idea of the prayers of the saints is that God's holiness, God's purpose, God's ways may be brought about irrespective of who comes or goes.

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 passion of Christianity comes from deliberately signing away my own rights and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I will not begin to be a saint.

Never consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.

Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.
