People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

We have full confidence in Jesus Christ. Our confidence rises as the character of God becomes greater and more trustworthy to our spiritual comprehension. The One with whom we deal is the One who embodies faithfulness and truth-the One who cannot lie.

The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.

The atonement in Jesus Christ's blood is perfect; there isn't anything that can be added to it. It is spotless, impeccable, flawless. It is perfect as God is perfect.

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.

To men and women everywhere Jesus says, "Come unto me, and I will give you rest." The rest He offers is the rest of meekness, the blessed relief which comes when we accept ourselves for what we are and cease to pretend.

I accomplish more when I rest wholly in the labor of Jesus than I do when I frantically try to do the work for Him.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not quite forgotten among Christians, but it has been relegated to the hymnal where all responsibility toward it may be comfortably discharged in a glow of religious emotion. Or if it is taught as a theory in the classroom it is rarely applied to practical living. The idea that the Man Christ Jesus has absolute final authority over the whole church and over its members in every detail of their lives is simply not now accepted as true by the rank and file of evangelical Christians.

His words are the essence of truth...Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed; He knew, and He knows.

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.

Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.

Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.

If Bible Christianity is to survive the present world upheaval, we shall need to have a fresh revelation of the greatness and the beauty of Jesus.... He alone can raise our cold hearts to rapture and restore again the art of true worship.

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.

We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No. Jesus died because God is showing mercy.

God purposed redemption in Christ Jesus before the world began, and His plan does not need any editing by man.

When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

Nowhere in the Word of God is there any text or passage or line that can be twisted or tortured into teaching that the organic living church of Jesus Christ just prior to His return will not have every right and every power and every obligation that she knew in that early part of the book of Acts.

My miseries have always come out of my own flesh, never from any burden Jesus has laid on me.

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.

God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God. He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays.

Christians should be the boldest people in the world-not cocky and sure of ourselves, but sure of Him.

If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

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.
