If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.

Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.

The crisis will reveal whether we have been practicing or not.

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