The characteristic of the new birth is that I yield myself so completely to God that Christ is formed in me.

The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

Prayer is not getting things from God. That is a most initial stage; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God: I tell Him what I know He knows in order that I may get to know it as He does.

Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.

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.

The saint is hilarious when he is crushed with difficulties because the thing is so ludicrously impossible to anyone but God.
