Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!
True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.
We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.
God wants us to know that when we have Him, we have everything.
It is dangerous to be so busy that you have no time to wait on God.
I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.
Each day presents a new opportunity to experience God's presence.
When we make a choice today, we are deciding who we will be tomorrow.
Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.
Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.
Rules for Self Discovery: 1. What we want most; 2. What we think about most; 3. How we use our money; 4. What we do with our leisure time; 5. The company we enjoy; 6. Who and what we admire; 7. What we laugh at.
The glory of God always comes at the sacrifice of self.
Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.
As long as Christ sits on the throne, every day is a good day and all days are days of salvation.
Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.
Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.
We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker...The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it.
If worship bores you, you are not ready for heaven.
Nothing in or of this world measures up to the simple pleasure of experiencing the presence of God.

The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.
It is astonishing, how many difficulties clear up without any effort when the inner life gets straightened out. If half the time we spend trying to fix up outward things were spent in getting our hearts right, we would be delighted with the result. Strange as it may seem, harmony within our hearts depends mostly upon our getting into harmony with God.
What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them...we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.
Why do some persons 'find' God in a way that others do not? Why does God manifest His Presence to some and let multitudes of others struggle along in the half-light of imperfect Christian experience? Of course the will of God is the same for all. He has no favorites within His household. All He has ever done for any of His children He will do for all of His children. The difference lies not with God but with us.
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
