Christians don’t tell lies, they just go to church and sing them.

The peace the Saviour gives is not an artificial one. It is so deep that even the devil can’t disturb it. You can’t hear things in the spirit, while you have any turmoil or fear in you. You can’t take a shade of fear into the presence of God.

That’s the excitement in obedience – finding out later what God had in mind.

The words of the Lord hurt and offend until there is nothing left to be hurt or offended. Jesus has no tenderness whatsoever toward anything that is ultimately going to ruin a person in his service to God. If the Spirit of God brings to your mind a word of the Lord that hurts you, you may be sure that there is something He wants to hurt to death.

Jesus Christ does not want to be our helper; He wants to be our life. He does not want us to work for Him; He wants us to let Him do His work through us, using us as we use a pencil to write with – better still, using us as one of the fingers on His hand.

Today comes but once, and comes never to return. We hope it will come again tomorrow; but it does not. It is gone forever, with its inexhaustible possibilities, privileges and responsibilities.

You must do it! You cannot hold back. You have enjoyed yourself in Christianity long enough. You have had pleasant feelings, pleasant songs, pleasant meetings, pleasant prospects. There has been much of human happiness, much clapping of hands and shouting of praises -very much of heaven on earth. Now then, go to God and tell Him you are prepared as much as necessary to turn your back upon it all, and that you are willing to spend the rest of your days struggling in the midst of these perishing multitudes, whatever it may cost you.
