The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.

Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.

Jesus Christ can afford to be misunderstood; we cannot. Our weakness lies in always wanting to vindicate ourselves.

It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God: but we have not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, and this is not learned in five minutes

The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience.
