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.

A mistaken thought may be corrected easily, but an errant affection is nearly unmanageable.

With fear and trembling we must rely upon God for guidance in the inner depths. This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.

How true it is that without the guidance of the Holy Spirit intellect not only is undependable but also extremely dangerous, because it often confuses the issue of right and wrong.

Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored; 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear; He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.

Never adopt an attitude of indifference, for if you do you will suffer for it. The weight will grow heavier and heavier.

In the matter of fellowship God looks not at how much we apprehend of His will but rather at what our attitude towards His will is. If we honestly seek and wholeheartedly obey His desires, our fellowship remains unbroken, even though there should be many unknown sins in us. Should fellowship be determined by the holiness of God, who among all the most holy saints in the past and the present would be qualified to hold a moment's perfect communion with Him?
