Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.
Worship0The man who continues in his rejection of Christ has a pet sin somewhere.
Unbelief, Sin0We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.
Faith0We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
Loving God0What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.
Thought Life0The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.
Knowing God0One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team.
Church0O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, 'Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.' Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
God's Goodness, Prayer0Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God's already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn't pay Him for what He's done for me.
Gospel0I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.
Worship, Scripture0God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.
Nature of God0The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly
has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.
Justice0An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.
Nature of God0To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love.
Love0Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.
Blessings, Praise0The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.
Surrender0What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
Mind, Thinking0The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One.
Desires0Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.
Meekness, Rest0It is no sin to doubt some things but it may be fatal to believe everything.
Belief0Heresy is not so much rejecting as selecting. The heretic simply selects the parts of the Scripture he wants to emphasize and lets the rest go. This is shown by the etymology of the word heresy and by the practice of the heretic. "Beware," an editorial scribe of the fourteenth century warned his readers in the preface to a book. "Beware thou take not one thing after thy affection and liking, and leave another: for that is the condition of an heretique. But take everything with other." The old scribe knew well how prone we are to take to ourselves those parts of the truth that please us and ignore the other parts. And that is heresy.
We Travel An Appointed WayHeresy0We Travel An Appointed Way
The Lord will not save those whom He cannot command. He will not divide His offices. You cannot believe on a half-Christ. We take Him for what He is - the anointed Saviour and Lord who is King of kings and Lord of all lords! He would not be Who He is if He saved us and called us and chose us without the understanding that He can also guide and control our lives.
I Call it Heresy (1974, 18-19)Lordship0I Call it Heresy (1974, 18-19)
Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free.
