There is a call to spiritual perseverance. A call not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.

There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us; God links up His power in answer to their prayers.

Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.

Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.

There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

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

The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
