Abiding

Do you desire to subdue sin?  Would you be holy?  Would you imitate your Master?  Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality?  Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardor for the Master’s cause?  You cannot without the Spirit: “Without Me you can do nothing.”  Oh branch of the vine, you can have no fruit without the sap!  Oh child of God, you have no life within you apart from the life which God gives you through His Spirit!

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

The first thing for our soul’s health, the first thing for His glory, and the first thing for our own usefulness, is to keep ourselves in perpetual communion with the Lord Jesus…

I must honestly declare my conviction that, since the days of the Reformation, there never has been so much profession of religion without practice, so much talking about God without walking with Him, so much hearing God’s words without doing them…

God’s sacred intent for you and for me is nothing short of absolute abandonment to Jesus, entire separation from the pollution of the world, and ardent worship of our King with every breath we take.

Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.

The time I spend with God determines both the direction and quality of the time I spend elsewhere.
