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 clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.

Now is the hour we should humbly prostrate ourselves before God, willing to be convicted afresh of our sins by the Holy Spirit.

Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.

If whatever men know comes through their brain without the Holy Spirit regenerating their spirit, then their knowledge will help them not one whit. If their belief rests in man's wisdom and not in God's power, they are merely excited in their soul.

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

Towards himself a Christian should have a broken spirit, but towards God it should be one of rejoicing always in Him. He rejoices not for its own sake nor because of any joyful experience, work, blessing or circumstance, but exclusively because God is his center.
