The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.
God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ; He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.
But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.
The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'
There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.
Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

Before God can use a man greatly he must wound him deeply.
Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Am I prepared to let God grip me by His power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself? Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God's idea of what He wants to do for me, and He has to get me into the attitude of mind and spirit where at any cost I will let Him sanctify me wholly.
Happiness is not a sign that we are right with God; happiness is a sign of satisfaction, that is all, and the majority of us can be satisfied on too low a level.
