We desperately need seers who can see through the mist- Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy.
Many of us Christians have become extremely skillful in arranging our lives so as to admit the truth of Christianity without being embarrassed by its implications. We arrange things so that we can get on well enough without divine aid, while at the same time ostensibly seeking it. We boast in the Lord but watch carefully that we never get caught depending on Him.
Is it ever possible to overdo the talking about the glory of Christ? Is it ever too often to be in God's presence?
Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.
God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.
Each day presents a new opportunity to experience God's presence.
Let her love God as He is in Himself, and not as her imagination says He is, and pictures Him.
The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny; he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do; that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.
At the heart of the Christian message is God Himself waiting for His redeemed children to push in to conscious awareness of His Presence.
We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician's instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not disciplined?
While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves-blessed riddance.
The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds; the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness.
There are rare Christians whose very presence incites others to be better Christians. I want to be that rare Christian.
How unutterably sweet is the knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows us completely. No talebearer can inform on us; no enemy can make an accusation stick; no forgotten skeleton can come tumbling out of some hidden closet to abash us and expose out past; no unsuspected weakness in our characters can come to light to turn God away from us, since He knew us utterly before we knew him and called us to Himself in the full knowledge of everything that was against us.
God dwells in His creation and is everywhere indivisibly present in all His works. He is transcendent above all His works even while He is immanent within them.
If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week.
God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.
When we yield ourselves completely to God, He gives Himself completely to us.
God is running the universe. We ought not think like scientists, but think like psalmists.
Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.
