There are actually only ever two pastoral problems you will ever encounter. The first is this: persuading those who are under the dominion of sin that they are under the dominion of sin. That's the task of evangelism. And [second], persuading those who are no longer under the dominion of sin that they are no longer under the dominion of sin because they're Christ's.

The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.

If you desire anything less for yourself than absolute obedience to God, a life of total devotion to the Lord, a life of absolute sin-less-ness - if you desire anything less, you are fighting against God's desire for you.

Where God is at the center of things, worship inevitably follows.

God has chosen us. Our status is not a matter of our worthiness, but of His love.

Evil deeds are the fruit of an evil heart. They are not an aberration from our true self but a revelation of it.

The jewels of spiritual service are always quarried in the depths of spiritual experience. Never is this more true than in revival. Bend the church and save the people.
