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. |
Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God. |
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ. |
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it. |

To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity. |
Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will. |
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. |
The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still. |
