The resurrection never becomes a fact of experience until the risen Lord lives in the heart of the believer.

Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work.

The use of the right word, the exact word, is the difference between a pencil with a sharp point and a thick crayon.

God hasn't given up on you. He can still do great things for you, in you, and through you. God is ready and waiting and able. What about you, and me?

Godly enthusiasm is not a fire of our own kindling...If a man, however, has caught fire, let me not quench the Spirit by dampening the ardor of his pure devotion. Enthusiasm is not contrary to reason; it is reason - on fire.

Unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.

If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you.
