Often the children of God cannot rise up to answer the Lord's call to service simply because, though their physical condition is good, their feelings are low, cold, and reluctant. Or even when their emotions are quite high, passionate, and willing, they find themselves unable to serve the Lord because now the body reacts lazily. The disciples found themselves in precisely that situation in the Garden of Gethsemane: "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"

God not only wants to break the outer man...He wants our spirit and our soul...our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.

The note of hallelujah must never be in short supply in the spirit of the believer.

Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.

Since this life is God's and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.

Frequently what we say is rest is merely laziness. Our body requires respite and so does our mind and spirit. But a person should never rest because of a laziness which arises from the evil nature in his emotion. How often laziness and emotional distaste for work join to employ physical fatigue as a cover-up.

We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
