As long as we leave sin unconfessed, we are actually saying that we don’t believe the Lord is going to come now.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

Anyone can do the possible; add a bit of courage and zeal and some may do the phenomenal; only Christians are obliged to do the impossible.

Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than I have done, but if my fire is not large it is yet real, and there may be those who can light their candle at its flame.

Listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity, and bluster make a man dear to God. . . . To a people caught in the tempest of the last great conflict God says, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46.10), and still He says it, as if He means to tell us that our strength and safety lie not in noise but in silence.

No one whose senses have been exercised to know good and evil but must grieve over the sight of zealous souls seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit while they are yet living in a state of moral carelessness or borderline sin. Such a things is a moral contradiction. Whoever would be filled and indwell by the Spirit should first judge his life for any hidden iniquities; he should courageously expel from his heart everything which is out of accord with the character of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures.
