We must like Moses cover ourselves with faith and humility while we steal a quick look at the God whom no man can see and live. The broken and the contrite heart He will not despise. We must hide our unholiness in the wounds of Christ as Moses hid himself in the cleft of the rock while the glory of God passed by. We must take refuge from God in God.
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.
Don't allow false modesty,doubts or unbelief prevent you from accepting God's favor. The door of mercy stands wide open.
Justice is not something God has. Justice is something that God is.
If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition you know that you are God's child, you know it by the text but you also know it by the inner light, the inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever reason you out of it.
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.
God loves you not because you are worthy, but because He is God and you are a fixture in His mind.
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.
We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts
The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice/any choice will be the right one.
Christians should be the boldest people in the world-not cocky and sure of ourselves, but sure of Him.
If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?
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!
Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived.
An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.
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.
