What I cannot know by reason, I can know by simply believing.
History is little more than the story of man's sin, and the daily newspaper a running commentary on it.
To know God is to fear Him. And this fear is to love Him as He deserves to be loved.
The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.
Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence.
Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization. And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is eternity.
True faith is never found alone; it is accompanied by expectation.
Real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.
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.
The more fascinated we become with the toys of this world, the more we forget that there's another world to come.
He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
I wish that we might get back to worship again. Then when people come into the church they will instantly sense that they have come among holy people, God's people. They can testify, 'Of a truth God is in this place'
When God would make His Name known to mankind He could find no better word than "I AM." When He speaks in the first person He says, "I AM"; when we speak of Him we say, "He is"; when we speak to Him we say, "Thou art." Everyone and everything else measures from that fixed point. "I am that I am," says God, "I change not."
The Church can't be a religious theater where paid men perform for the religious amusement of the people who pay them.
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.
Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.
Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.
To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.
Jesus came not to condemn, but to reclaim.
God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.
It requires a serious mind and a determined heart to pray past the ordinary into the unusual.
All things as they move toward God are beautiful, and they are ugly as they move away from Him.
It is probably impossible to think without words, but if we permit ourselves to think with the wrong words, we shall soon be entertaining erroneous thoughts; for words, which are given us for the expression of thought, have a habit of going beyond their proper bounds and determining the content of thought.
You will never be more than a common Christian until you give up your own interest and cease defending yourself.
