The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture. In a church all the members are active. He [God] appointed some to take oversight of the work so that it might be carried on efficiently. It was never His thought that the majority of the believers should devote themselves exclusively to secular affairs and leave church matters to a group of spiritual specialists.

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.

The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.

An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.

Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.

We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.

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