A characteristic of the flesh is its fickleness: it alternates between Yes and No and vice versa. But the will of God is: "Walk not according to the flesh (not even for a moment) but according to the Spirit."

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.

We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.

It does not matter what your personal deficiency, or whether it be a hundred and one different things, God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.

To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!

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