Satan does not tempt us just to make us do wrong things- he tempts us to make us lose what God has put into us through regeneration, namely, the possibility of being of value to God.

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh

We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.

he must deny his right to himself, and he must realize who Jesus Christ is before he will bring himself to do it. Beware of refusing to go to the funeral of your own independence

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

Beware of making a fetish of consistency to your convictions instead of being devoted to God.

Some prayers are followed by silence because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than we can understand.
