The man who has God for his treasure has all things in one.
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.
When we have the Holy Spirit we have all that is needed to be all that God desires us to be.
No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.
Real faith never disappoints because it is in God, grounded on His character, promises, covenant and oath.
No one will make progress with God until our eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves!
If you do all the talking when you pray, how will you ever hear God's answers?
The importance of coming into God's presence is worth overcoming all obstacles along the way.
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.
The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agree to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless the a man until He has first conquered him. The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.
Be hard on yourself and easy on others. Carry your own cross but never lay one on the back of another
With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.
If we cooperate with Him in loving obedience, God will manifest Himself to us, and that manifestation will be the difference between a nominal Christian life and a life radiant with the light of His face.
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.
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.
All things as they move toward God are beautiful, and they are ugly as they move away from Him.
Real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.
God is looking for men in whose hands His glory is safe.
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 victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. What he is or is not no longer concerns him. He believes that he has been crucified with Christ and he is not willing either to praise or deprecate such a man.
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.
A world of confusion and disappointment results from trying to believe without obeying.
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.
