Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.

God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. There is no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

He had everything, but he possessed nothing. There is the spiritual secret.

Let any man turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days.

Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness.

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the quality of popular Christianity year after year till we reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws - like the Shekinah from the temple.
