Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.
The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.
Distractions must be conquered or they will conquer us. So let us cultivate simplicity; let us walk in the Spirit.
Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.
I want to be a more serious-minded Christian, more detached from this world, more ready for heaven than I have ever been in my whole life. I want an ear that is sharp to know the voice of the enemy, whether it comes from religion, politics, or philosophy ... I would rather stand and have everybody my enemy than to go along with the crowd to destruction. Do you feel that way?
If you want to be changed, read a good book.
We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today.
The key to prayer is simply praying.
Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.
Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer?
There is more healing joy in five minutes of true worship than in five nights of revelry.
Man doesnt have the patience or the power to wait. But God does. He has all eternity to accomplish His purposes.
No one need fear to listen to the voice of God unless he has already made up his mind to resist it.
Without doubt, the mightiest thought the mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightest word in any language is its word for God.
We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
If He put tribulation before you and said He will give you patience by giving you a little trouble along the way, wouldn't you take a little trouble? You say, 'Lord, I want all my highways paved.' the Lord says, 'I'm sorry, I can't accommodate you. I'm going to let you run over some bumps occasionally, so you will have patience.' You do not like the bumps, but you like the patience, and if you want the patience, you will have to take the bumps. And what is patience but experience?
Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.
Wherever faith has eyes to see, there is a smiling presence of the Son of God.
We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.
Wherever we find Jesus is the perfect place to worship.
We must like Moses cover ourselves with faith and humility while we steal a quick look at the God whom no man can see and live. The broken and the contrite heart He will not despise. We must hide our unholiness in the wounds of Christ as Moses hid himself in the cleft of the rock while the glory of God passed by. We must take refuge from God in God.
To men and women everywhere Jesus says, "Come unto me, and I will give you rest." The rest He offers is the rest of meekness, the blessed relief which comes when we accept ourselves for what we are and cease to pretend.
