God doesn't work through us because we're flawless; rather, He works through us in spite of our imperfections.
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
When you focus on the eternal, victorious Son of God, you break the devil's heart and render him powerless.
How utterly terrible is the current idea that Christians can serve God at their own convenience.
Faith is not merely a journey for the feet, but it is also a journey for the heart.
God is raising up His heroes and the time will come when they will appear and the world will wonder where they came from.
Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God.
Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
The man who has been taught by the Holy Spirit will be a seer rather than a scholar. The difference is that the scholar sees and the seer sees through; and that is a mighty difference indeed.
The gravest question any of us face is whether we do or do not love the Lord.
The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense. How horrible to contemplate a church full of persons who have been pardoned but who still love sin and hate the ways of righteousness. And how much more horrible to think of heaven as filled with sinners who had not repented nor changed their way of living.
God sees us perfect in His Son while He disciplines and chastens and purges us that we may be partakers of His holiness.
The man who preaches truth and applies it to the lives of his hearers will feel the nails and the thorns. He will lead a hard life, but a glorious one. May God raise up many such prophets. The church needs them badly.
God's mercy is boundless, free and, through Jesus Christ our Lord, available to us now in our present situation.
Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.
It will cost you everything to follow the Lord. And it will cost you even more to be His man for this hour.
We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.
The grace of God is infinite and beyond our ability to measure. His grace has no beginning and therefore no end.
God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.
Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us, yet if we withhold ourselves from that blood, we will be unclean forever.
Jesus Christ left us an example for our daily conduct. He felt no bitter resentment and He held no grudge against anyone! Even those who crucified Him were forgiven while they were in the act. Not a word did He utter against them nor against the ones who stirred them up to destroy Him. How evil they all were. He knew better than any other man, but He maintained a charitable attitude toward them.
If I am to wholly follow the Lord Jesus Christ, I must forsake everything that is contrary to Him.
The most important thing you think is what you think about God.
The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.
