There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.
The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.
Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they found Him, the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking.
Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.
God will speak to the hearts of those who prepare themselves to hear; and conversely, those who do not so prepare themselves will hear nothing even though the Word of God is falling upon their outer ears every Sunday.
We can seek God and find him! God is knowable, touchable, hearable, seeable, with the mind, the hands, the ears and the eyes of the inner man.
Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another
If we try to obey without faith, we get nowhere. If we try to have faith without obedience, it ends in nothing.
Faith is a re-directing of our sight, a getting out of the focus of our own vision and getting God into focus.
God purposed redemption in Christ Jesus before the world began, and His plan does not need any editing by man.
Trust God in the dark until the light returns.
The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
The essence of surrender is getting out of God's way so that He can do in us what He also wants to do through us.
An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.
We cannot enter into the presence of God while we are rebelling against God.
When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!
Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation. If I am tempted to be complacent and to feel superior because I have had a remarkable vision or an advanced spiritual experience, I should go at once to my knees and repent of the whole thing. I have fallen victim to the enemy.
We must never allow the majority to overrule the clear teaching of the Word of God.
Jesus Christ left us an example for our daily conduct. He felt no bitter resentment and He held no grudge against anyone! Even those who crucified Him were forgiven while they were in the act. Not a word did He utter against them nor against the ones who stirred them up to destroy Him. How evil they all were. He knew better than any other man, but He maintained a charitable attitude toward them.
The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God.
God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays.
God sees us perfect in His Son while He disciplines and chastens and purges us that we may be partakers of His holiness.
Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.
God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.
The man who preaches truth and applies it to the lives of his hearers will feel the nails and the thorns. He will lead a hard life, but a glorious one. May God raise up many such prophets. The church needs them badly.
