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…
To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.
The truly spiritual man is indeed something of an oddity. He lives not for himself but to promote the interests of Another. He seeks to persuade people to give all to his Lord and asks no portion or share for himself. He…
One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before.…
Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, But we are winning them! And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To s…
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

The Bible is a supernatural book and can be understood only by supernatural aid.

The best book is not one that informs merely, but one that stirs the reader up to inform himself.
What we think about when we are free to think about what we will 'that is what we are or will soon become.
When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.
It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
