Nothing in or of this world measures up to the simple pleasure of experiencing the presence of God.
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.
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.
Why do some persons 'find' God in a way that others do not? Why does God manifest His Presence to some and let multitudes of others struggle along in the half-light of imperfect Christian experience? Of course the will of God is the same for all. He has no favorites within His household. All He has ever done for any of His children He will do for all of His children. The difference lies not with God but with us.
The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.
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.
The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.
God is raising up His heroes and the time will come when they will appear and the world will wonder where they came from.
In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.
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.
The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend.
Compare yourself only with Jesus.
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.
Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.
It will cost you everything to follow the Lord. And it will cost you even more to be His man for this hour.
Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT; rather, it's declaring what God is.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
