God's guidance will require patience on our part. His leading is not usually a direct assurance, a revelation, but His sovereign controlling of the circumstances of our lives, with the Word of God as our rule. It is therefore, inevitable that the unfolding of His purposes will take time - sometimes a very long time.

Christians have a new identity. We are no longer 'in Adam' but 'in Christ'; no longer in the flesh but in the Spirit.

Those who are most conscious of forgiveness are invariably those who have been most acutely convicted of their sin.

The problem is not in the clarity of the revelation. The problem is in the darkness of the human mind.

To be free from the possibility of discouragements would be more ‘spiritual’ than Jesus-and therefore not truly spiritual at all.

Man's insulting God is not reversed by our insulting man.

Worship is not something we "work up," it is something that "comes down" to us, from the character of God.
