Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.

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

God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.

Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.

We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.

The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every area of life to its depth. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.

The center of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, and the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much.
