Do not think me mad. It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live. The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.

How can a humble God walk with a proud people? That’s why He wants to make you humble, He wants to walk with you! He wants to dwell in you! He wants you to be the house in which He would dwell and live and move and express Himself in the earth and in the heavens!

The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine. Nor was I crucified for anyone.

Every Christian who seeks to advance in holiness should remember this: there may be intense consecration and fervent zeal, and if the Lord himself does not step in, there may be unconscious self-exalation. Let us learn the lesson that the greatest holiness comes in the deepest humility.
