We are to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect, not by struggle and effort, but by the impartation of that which is perfect.

All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them.

My Lord is insulted and His church slighted. And believe me, under this double injury, I smart. The church has many adversaries. Can my sword sleep, then, in my hand? Never!

Does it not thrill our hearts to realize that we do not go forward in our own strength! Think of it, God Himself is with us for our Captain! The Lord of Hosts is present in Person on every field of conflict, to encourage us and fight with us. With such a Leader, who never lost a battle, or deserted a soldier in distress, or failed to get through the needed supplies, who would not accept the challenge to go forward, “bearing precious seed”?

Ours should not be the love that asks, ‘how little?’ but ‘how much?’; the love that pours out its all and revels in the joy of having anything to pour on the feet of its Beloved.

Time and distance quench a small love, but make a great love grow stronger.

Our recruits come out from home vastly raw and are largely parrots. They have been crammed with religion as though for an examination, and seem to come out to carry on their education rather than finish it. So many are just taught doctrines without ever having thought them out or searched the Scriptures for themselves. They come out like infants with pop guns. They need to be trained into soldiers with real devil-defying weapons. Some arrive thinking they are the last thing in high-class Christianity and have to find out they know little. That is why I keep the newcomers here at base for a time till I can make them really think out things and settle questions, not from hearsay but from Bible-say.

The preoccupations of young women…do not change very much from generation to generation. But in every generation there seem to be a few who make other choices.
