11:4)

 To use the terminology of the praying man is not to pray.

 Truth is a light which reveals a pathway in which man must walk.

Truth always sets up a claim, makes a demand. Man cannot hold
Truth. Truth must hold the man. As soon as Truth presents itself
to a life it makes a demand upon that life.

 Every truth of the Christian faith taken hold of by the mind makes
a call upon the will. In proportion as that claim is answered the
life is sanctified.

 Any discussion on the doctrine of prayer which does not issue in

the practice thereof is not only not helpful but dangerous.

 The disciples did not ask the Lord ‘Lord, teach us how to pray’ but
‘Lord, teach us to pray’. A great many people know how to pray,
but they do not pray. The request ‘Teach us how to pray’, will refer
simply to the theory. The petition ‘Lord teach us to pray’ is of
much fuller import and includes theory and practice.
 The reason why men do not look to the Church today is that she
has destroyed her own influence by compromise. 

 Our fellowship is with God, and fellowship is friendship, and

friendship means that partnership which, on His part, is the
accommodating of His strength to my weakness.

 “If the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is
fit only to be cast out and trodden under foot of man.” And that is
what happens to Christian men and women who name the name
of Christ, and are not salt. They are trodden under foot of men;
they are despised by their day and generation. The world itself
holds us in supreme contempt if we profess to be Christian and
are not holy.

 The Jesus that men want to see is not the Jesus they really need
to see.

 The faith that does not come from reason is to be doubted, and the
reason that does not lead to faith is to be feared.

 Holiness is not exemption from conflict, but victory through

conflict.

 Holiness is not freedom from temptation, but power to overcome

temptation.

 Holiness is not the end of progress, but deliverance from

standing still.

 God has foreordained the works to which He has called you. He

has been ahead of you preparing the place to which you are
coming and manipulating all the resources of the universe in order
 that the work you do may be a part of His whole great and
gracious work.

 The deepest passion of the heart of Jesus was not the saving of
men, but the glory of God, and then the saving of men, because
that is for the glory of God.

 Waiting for God means power to do nothing save under command.

This is not lack of power to do anything. Waiting for God needs
strength rather than weakness. It is power to do nothing. It is the
strength that holds strength in check. It is the strength that
prevents the blundering activity which is entirely false and will
make true activity impossible when the definite command comes.
Waiting for God means readiness for any command; that sense of
perpetual suspense which listens for the word in order that it may
be immediately obeyed. Those who wait for God are pilgrim souls
that have no tie that will hold them when the definite command is
issued; no prejudices that will paralyze their effort when in some
strange coming of the light they are commanded to take a pathway
entirely different to that which was theirs before; having no
interests either temporal or eternal, either material or mental or
spiritual, that will conflict with the will of God when that will is
made known. 

 Revival cannot be organized, but we can set our sails to catch the
wind from heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people
once again

 There is one sure and infallible guide to truth, and therefore, one,
and only one corrective for error, and that is the Word of God.

 There are three main reasons why Christians are often defeated by
the devil. The first because there is neither submission to God nor
resistance to the Devil. The second is because there is resistance
but no submission. The third is because there is submission
without resistance. Therefore SUBMIT to God and RESIST the
devil.
