Show me the condition of your Bible and I will accurately gauge the condition of your soul.
O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend.
I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.
Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God.
I fear that for the most part people are worshiping worship rather than worshiping God and communing with Him.
Most of the world's great souls have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness... Always remember: you cannot carry a cross in company. Though a man were surrounded by a vast crowd, his cross is his alone and his carrying of it marks him as a man apart. Society has turned against him; otherwise he would have no cross. No one is a friend to the man with a cross.
The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only.
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.
A world of confusion and disappointment results from trying to believe without obeying.
When you focus on the eternal, victorious Son of God, you break the devil's heart and render him powerless.
Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.
Nothing should so occupy the mind of the Christian than discovering God each day.
With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.
All things as they move toward God are beautiful, and they are ugly as they move away from Him.
I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind.
It's time for us to rise up, get out of the rut and routine, and begin to take our Christian faith seriously.
Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.
The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many persons.
True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie.
God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.
You have been forgiven, so act like it!
Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually, "Be thou exalted," and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once.
No man has any right to speak to men about God who has not first spoken to God about men.
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
