Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT; rather, it's declaring what God is.

Listen to no man who has not listened to God.

To truly know God we must long for Him without any other motive than reaching God Himself.

No one need fear to listen to the voice of God unless he has already made up his mind to resist it.

Be thankful, but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver.

If you want to be holy then you must give time to God and not just intend to.

An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.

Yes, I believe you can be right with God and still not like the way some people behave. Our admonition is to love them in a larger and more comprehensive way because we are all one in Christ Jesus. This kind of love is indeed a Christian virtue!

Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts

Justice is not something God has. Justice is something that God is.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.

The essence of surrender is getting out of God's way so that He can do in us what He also wants to do through us.

God loves you not because you are worthy, but because He is God and you are a fixture in His mind.

God doesn't work through us because we're flawless; rather, He works through us in spite of our imperfections.

There is no limit to what God can do through us if we are a yielded and purified people.

God's Kingdom isn't divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God's sight, everyone's needful.

No one will make progress with God until our eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves!

If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.

The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ.

One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.

Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.

As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.

If you never mention the Lord in conversation with each other,isn't that proof that you aren't so concerned about Him?

We go astray when we think that we can do spiritual work without spiritual power.

The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us; rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

The only Christian you want to listen to is the one who gives you more of a hunger for God.

I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.

Some people's lives would drastically change if they would obey God as strictly as they obey their doctors.

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

As long as Christ sits on the throne, every day is a good day and all days are days of salvation.

Don't allow false modesty,doubts or unbelief prevent you from accepting God's favor. The door of mercy stands wide open.

We must do worldly jobs, but if we do them with sanctified minds, they become offerings to God.

The great test of faith is to wait on God. . . not expecting to push a button and get whatever we want now.

When God brings all things to light, you will discover just how significant you've been in God's plan.

We get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when, and only when, we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position.

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.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.

Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness.

I do not think I exaggerate when I say that some of us put our offering in the plate with a kind of triumphant bounce as much as to say: "There - now God will feel better!" I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have. He does not need a dime of your money. It is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as these. You have the right to keep what you have all to yourself - but it will rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you.

To accept Christ is to know the meaning of the words 'as he is, so are we in this world.' We accept his friends as our friends, his enemies as our enemies, his ways as our ways, his rejection as our rejection, his cross as our cross, his life as our life and his future as our future. If this is what we mean when we advise the seeker to accept Christ, we had better explain it to him. He may get into deep spiritual trouble unless we do.

We must break the evil habit of ignoring the spiritual. We must shift our interest from the seen to the unseen.

A satisfying prayer life elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and integrates the entire personality into a single spiritual unit. In the long pull we pray only as well as we live.

Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.

God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. There is no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.

The Christian's heart must be soaked in prayer before the true spiritual fruits begin to grow.

...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.
