If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.

There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man; the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.

The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us. God calls us to His service and places tremendous responsibilitie s on us. He expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part. God wants to use us as He used His own Son.

Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.

Watch the things you say you can't believe, and then recall the things you accept without thinking, like your own existence.

The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here.

I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
