The author tells a story wherein a missionary friend of his was invited by unbelievers on a train ride to play cards. The friend declined, saying that he did not bring his hands with him. He explained to the astonished group that the hands attached to what they saw as his body belonged to the Lord, and he was thereby able to explain the Gospel.

By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!

I want nothing for myself; I want everything for the Lord.

We may love to say many things, but if these are not uttered in the Holy Spirit it is better to say nothing. The flesh can conjure up many plans and methods and be full of expectations. The righteousness of the flesh is as abhorrent as its sin we must always maintain God's view of the flesh.

Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.

Everyone who believes in God must have His revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such faith cannot endure the test.

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