Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration.

When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.

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

Christianity is a power religion. Christ has the power to re-create men from the inside out, as every man who has ever met Him knows.

You are leaving port under sealed orders and in a troubled period. You cannot know whither you are going or what you are to do. But why not take the Pilot on board who knows the nature of your sealed orders from the outset, and who will shape your entire voyage accordingly? He knows the shoals and the sand banks, the rocks and the reefs, He will steer you safely into that celestial harbor where your anchor will be cast for eternity. Let His almighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe.
