To be entirely safe from the devil's snares the man of God must be completely obedient to the Word of the Lord. The driver on the highway is safe, not when he reads the signs but when he obeys them.
The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.
The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.
The Christian woman should remember that she cannot buy true attractiveness; that radiance which really shines forth in beauty is of the heart and spirit and not of the body.
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.
What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.
In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.
Compare yourself only with Jesus.
It will cost you everything to follow the Lord. And it will cost you even more to be His man for this hour.
Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.
Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT; rather, it's declaring what God is.
God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called "The Word." The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind.
If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.
God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.
We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.
The true follower of Christ will not ask, "If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?" Rather he will say, "This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!"
I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.
What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last day... It would be better to invite God now to remove every false trust, to disengage our hearts from all secret hiding places and to bring us out into the open where we can discover for ourselves whether or not we actually trust Him. That is a harsh cure for our troubles, but it is a sure one. Gentler cures may be too weak to do the work. And time is running out on us.
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.
You can be straight as a gun barrel theologically, and as empty as one spiritually.
If I am to wholly follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I must forsake everything that is contrary to Him.
I believe in Christian charity, but I don't believe in Christian tolerance... When we become so tolerate that we lead people into mental fog and spiritual darkness, we are not acting like Christians; we are acting like cowards!
Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.
