No amount of activity in the King's service will make up for neglect of the King Himself.

Do everything in earnest--if it is worth doing, then do it with all your might. Above all, keep much in the presence of God. Never see the face of man till you have seen his face who is our Life, our All.

Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely.

The leader's role is to make sure that strategy is kept super simple.

If the veil of the world's machinery were lifted off, how much we would find is done in answer to the prayers of God's children.

Affliction brings out graces that cannot be seen in a time of health. It is the treading of the grapes that brings out the sweet juices of the vine; so it is affliction that draws forth submission, weanedness from the world, and complete rest in God. Use afflictions while you have them.

No one ever came to Christ because they knew themselves to be of the elect. It is quite true that God has of his mere good pleasure elected some to everlasting life, but they never knew it until they came to Christ. Christ nowhere invites the elect to come to Him. The question for you is not, Am I one of the elect? But, Am I one of the human race?
