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

There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.

We should not open our mouths too hastily upon approaching God. On the contrary, we first must ask God to show us what and how to pray before we make our request known to Him. Have we not consumed a great deal of time in the past asking for what we wanted? Why not now ask for what God wants?

A Christian ought to realize what the weights laid on his spirit are. If he encounters it in the morning and does not deal with it at once, he experiences defeat the whole day long.

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

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?

Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves.
