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.
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.
Any faith that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief; it is a pseudo belief only. And it might shock some of us profoundly if we were brought suddenly face to face with our beliefs and forced to test them in the fires of practical living.
To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.
We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.
To know that God thinks about me is the beginning of my journey of faith.
Our Lord told His disciples that love and obedience were organically united. The final test of love is obedience.
Whatever may befall us, God knows and cares as no one else can.
Coming before God in quietness & waiting upon Him in silence often can accomplish more than days of feverish activity.
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense. How horrible to contemplate a church full of persons who have been pardoned but who still love sin and hate the ways of righteousness. And how much more horrible to think of heaven as filled with sinners who had not repented nor changed their way of living.
Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God's dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.
Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.
A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.
Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.
What has the church gained if it is popular but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?
This is what you are here for: to glorify God and enjoy Him thoroughly and forever, telling the universe how great God is.
God does not love us because we are hard or easy to love, He loves us because He is God.
The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
God sees us perfect in His Son while He disciplines and chastens and purges us that we may be partakers of His holiness.
May God deliver us from the easygoing, smooth, comfortable Christianity that never lets the truth get hold of us.
We must never allow the majority to overrule the clear teaching of the Word of God.
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.
Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.
