It is not that God is stingy and must be coaxed, for He "giveth liberally and upbraideth not." It is that we ourselves are so shallow and sinful that we need to tarry before Him until our restless natures can be stilled and the clamor of outside voices be deadened so that we can hear His voice. Such a state is not easily reached, and the men God uses have paid a price in wrestlings and prevailing prayer. But it is such men who rise from their knees confident of His power and go forth to speak with authority.

Jesus is all we have; he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!

Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.

Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.

One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.

You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.

We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
