He who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord - including darkness, dryness, flatness - and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him.

Often Satan injects pride into the believer's spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God's work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.

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

The child of God ought to confess his weakness that he does not know how to pray, and petition the Holy Spirit to teach him.

The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.

Our prayers lay the track down which Gods power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.

A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
