Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

The scriptures are in print what Christ is in person.

The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; In God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.

God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called 'The Word.' The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind.

'Let God be true but every man a liar' is the language of true faith.

If God takes away from us the old, wrinkled, beat-up dollar bill we have clutched so desperately, it is only because He wants to exchange it for the whole Federal mint, the entire treasury! He is saying to us, ‘I have in store for you all the resources of heaven. Help yourself.’

We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.

The purpose of good works isn’t to change us or save us; rather, it’s the demonstration of the change within us.

The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing. These are the ‘poor in spirit.’
