There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.

How dangerous a master human emotion is!

To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual. Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict. It is a life utterly outpoured for the kingdom of God and lived in complete disregard for one's personal happiness.

Most soulish believers assume an attitude of self-righteousness, though often it is scarcely detectable. They hold tenaciously to their minute opinions we ought to lay aside the small differences and pursue the common objective.

Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.

Victory is the normal experience of a Christian; defeat should be the abnormal experience.
