Any action which lacks in obedience is a fall, and any act of disobedience is rebellion.
The daily life of the Christian can be summed up in one word: receive.
That which they have need of . . . let it be given them day by day without fail. Ezra 6:9 If we really trust God, we shall expect to bear unaided the spiritual burden both of our own needs and of thos...
Every true spiritual experience means that we have discovered a certain fact in Christ and have entered into that. Anything that is not from Him in this way is an experience that is going to evaporate...
Attempting to follow Him without denying the self is the root of all failures.
We recognize already that regeneration of the spirit is the paramount need of man.
The more spiritual a child of God becomes, the more conscious he is of the significance of walking according to the spirit and the dangers of walking according to the flesh.
The life of faith can be called the life of the will since faith is impervious to how one feels but chooses through volition to obey God's mind.
The first and foremost sign of new birth in anyone is that he knows God intuitively, for his spirit has been quickened.
Only if we completely acknowledge that what man requires today is God's life: the quickening of the spirit: will we then perceive how vain is any work performed by ourselves.

It is because we know God’s will that we may say to Him: God, we want You to do this thing, we are determined that You do it, You cannot but do it.
If you have not experienced the death of self, your spiritual life will have little real progress.
If we throw ourselves open to God, He will reveal. The trouble comes when we have closed areas, locked and barred places in our hearts, where we think, with pride, that we are right.
God’s way of salvation is in Christ, not in your own self. Patience is in Christ, humility is in Christ, holiness is in Christ. All is in Christ. In you, yourself, there is always uncleanness and unho...
Do we think because we have prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to reveal His mind and to work in us, that all shall accordingly be done? That assumption is not the truth; for unless we deliver to death...
Andrew Murray once said that what the church and individuals have to dread is the inordinate activity of the soul with its power of mind and will. F. B. Meyer declared that had he not known about the...
Abraham saw God as Father. He proved Him to be the source of all things. Isaac received the inheritance as a son. It is a blessed thing to have a gift bestowed upon us by God. Yet even what we receive...
