Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.

A man can die of starvation knowing all about bread, and a man can remain spiritually dead while knowing all the historic facts of Christianity.

from A Man of God
Thoughtlessness is the common origin of unconcern. We do a far better office for men when we lead them to think, than when we think for them. A man’s own thoughts are the most powerful of all preaching. The Holy Spirit operates very much by leading men to reflection—to employ their own mind. I should hesitate to interrupt the religious reflections of any man in the world, by the most important thing I could say to him. If I am sure he will think, I will consent to be still. But men are prone to be thoughtless, and we must speak to them to lead them to reflection.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
– GK Chesterton –
[Don’t] spend more time in analyzing, in collecting materials, and in hard thinking than on prayer, on seeking God’s mind, and on waiting for the power from above.
– Watchman Nee –
The treasures of wisdom and knowledge that are found only in Christ have been cashed in for the worthless trinkets of sinful folly. Many are playing marbles with diamonds.
– HB Charles Jr. –
What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
