When we say that there’s only one way of salvation, people say, “You’re very narrow minded.” But the truth is always narrow minded. 2 + 2 = 4. it’s not 3.9, it’s not 4.1.

I pray that the Lord might crown this year with His goodness and in the coming one give you a hallowed dare-devil spirit in lifting the biting sword of Truth consuming you with a passion…known to God as that saintly madness that led His Son through bloody sweat and hot tears to agony on a rude Cross–and Glory!

Prayer is the highest activity of the human soul, and therefore it is at the same time the ultimate test of a man’s true spiritual condition (there is nothing so much as prayer life that tells the truth about us as Christian people). Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer.

God gives us a million and one things and all we can think and pray about is that ONE he hasn’t given us … man is a MISERABLY selfish creature.

A prayerless man is proud and independent, and any church that neglects corporate prayer is sadly no better. Only God’s humble and needy children take the time to pray. Everyone else is just going through the motions and naively trusting in their own strength!

I must assert in the most unqualified way that it is primarily and mainly for the sake of saving the soul that I seek the salvation of the body.

Forgiveness is the key which unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. The forgiveness of Jesus not only takes away our sins, it makes them as if they had never been.
