Beware Of Any Work For

Sin Is Blatant Mutiny Against God, And Either Sin Or God Must Die In My Life.

If We Obey God It Is Going To Cost Other People More Than It Costs Us, And That Is Where The Sting Comes In. If We Are In Love With Our Lord, Obedience Does Not Cost Us Anything, It Is A Delight, But It Costs Those Who Do Not Love Him A Good Deal.

The Historic Idea That The Devil Tempts Men Had This Remarkable Effect, It Produced The Man Of Iron Who Fought; The Modern Idea Of Blaming His Heredity Or His Circumstances Produces The Man Who Gives In At Once.

I Am Called To Live In Such A Perfect Relationship With God That My Life Produces A Yearning For God In The Lives Of Others, Not Admiration For Myself. Thoughts About Myself Hinder My Usefulness To God. God’s Purpose Is Not To Perfect Me To Make Me A Trophy In His Showcase; He Is Getting Me To The Place Where He Can Use Me. Let Him Do What He Wants.

We Look Upon Prayer Simply As A Means Of Getting Things For Ourselves, But The Biblical Purpose Of Prayer Is That We May Get To Know God Himself.
