Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.

When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.

Never consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.

All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.

Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.

Spiritual lust--'I must have it at once'--causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God himself who gives the answer. Is today 'the third day' and He has still not done what I expected? Whenever we insist that God should give us an answer to prayer we are off track. The purpose of prayer is that we get a hold of God, not of the answer.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.
