Religion Fails If It Cannot

It May Be That One Of Our Great Faults In Prayer Is That We Talk Too Much And Listen Too Little. When Prayer Is At Its Highest We Wait In Silence For God's Voice To Us; We Linger In His Presence For His Peace And His Power To Flow Over Us And Around Us; We Lean Back In His Everlasting Arms And Feel The Serenity Of Perfect Security In Him.

The Best Way To Prepare For The Coming Of Christ Is Never To Forget The Presence Of Christ.

So Often We Have A Kind Of Vague, Wistful Longing That The Promises Of Jesus Should Be True. The Only Way Really To Enter Into Them Is To Believe Them With The Clutching Intensity Of A Drowning Man.

There Are Two Great Days In A Person's Life - The Day We Are Born And The Day We Discover Why.

So Long As We Judge Ourselves By Human Comparisons, There Is Plenty Of Room For Self-satisfaction, And Self-satisfaction Kills Faith, For Faith Is Born Of The Sense Of Need. But When We Compare Ourselves With Jesus Christ, And Through Him, With God, We Are Humbled To The Dust, And Then Faith Is Born, For There Is Nothing Left To Do But To Trust To The Mercy Of God.
