The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.Collection: God
In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.Collection: God
'Let God be true but every man a liar' is the language of true faith.Collection: Faith
Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.
The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.
We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.
One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?
An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle.
You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.
Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.
We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or notCollection: Mean
Faith is not a conclusion you reach...it's a journey you live.Collection: Journey
Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.Collection: Jesus
God is trying to call us back to that for which He created us, to worship Him and to enjoy Him foreverCollection: God
A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.Collection: Christian
Whenever God begins something, we have the assurance that He will finish it. Nothing will stand in the way of Him accomplishing His purpose in this world and in our lives. What God starts, He finishes, and nobody can hinder Him. Sure, delays will happen. Just remember, God is in charge of the delays as well as the progress.Collection: Progress
God's Word is true whether we believe it or not. Human unbelief cannot alter the character of God.Collection: Believe
What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.Collection: Heart
Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.Collection: Firsts
A real Christian in an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order to be full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest, richest when he is poorest, and happiest when he feels worst. He dies so he can live, forsakes in order to have, gives away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passes knowledge.Collection: Christian
The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.Collection: Preparation
People who are crucified with Christ have three distinct marks: 1. they are facing only one direction, 2. they can never turn back, and 3. they no longer have plans of their own.Collection: One Direction
The driver on the highway is safe not when He reads the signs, but when He obeys them.Collection: God
Sometimes when we get overwhelmed we forget how big God is.Collection: Overwhelmed
In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.Collection: Christian
Anything God has ever done, he can do now. Anything God has ever done anywhere, he can do here. Anything God has ever done for anyone, he can do for you.Collection: Done
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.Collection: Christian
Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.Collection: Christian
If God gives you a few more years, remember, it is not yours. Your time must honor God, your home must honor God, your activity must honor God, and everything you do must honor God.Collection: Home
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.Collection: Christian
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.Collection: Believe
Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.Collection: Doctrine
May God grant us a desire for God that supersedes all other desires.Collection: Desire
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the worldCollection: Christian
Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.Collection: Enemy
Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.Collection: Spiritual
Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.Collection: Real
The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.Collection: Thinking
...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.Collection: Spiritual
Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.Collection: Character
God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.Collection: Rebel
If you have believed but not obeyed, you have postponed your Christian life.Collection: Life
The good news isn't that God is victorious. How can He not be victorious? The good news is we can be victorious, too.Collection: News
It is no sin to doubt some things, but it may be fatal to believe everything.Collection: Believe
Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually, "Be thou exalted," and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once.Collection: Life
In the conduct of our public worship where is the authority of Christ to be found? The truth is that today the Lord rarely controls a service, and the influence He exerts is very small. We sing of Him and preach about Him, but He must not interfere; we worship our way, and it must be right because we have always done it that way, as have the other churches in our group.Collection: Church
