Guidance & Wisdom
True prayer moves in a circle. It begins in the heart of God, sweeps down into a human heart upon the earth, so intersecting the circle of the earth, which is the battle-field of prayer, and then it goes back again to its starting point, having accomplished its purpose on the downward swing.
Experience gives the meaning to language.
Water seeks its level persistently; so do one’s words.
A man walking alone down the middle of the one true path was more to Him, immensely more, than a great crowd wabbling along on the edge.
He knows that some of us—good, respectable people, as common reckoning goes—neither help God nor hinder Satan.
Everything costs. There is a law of exchange that rules in every sphere of life.
The Master’s plan—and what a genius of a plan it is—is this, that the world should be won, not by the preachers.
Selfishness gives Satan a footing. It gives a coaling station for his fleet on the shore of your life.
A going Christian is a growing Christian.
If a man will quietly, resolutely follow the Master’s leading—nothing extreme—nothing fanatical, or morbid, just a quiet going where that inner Voice plainly leads day by day, he will be startled to find what an utterly new meaning prayer will come to have for him.
Obedience is the organ of understanding.
All true service begins in personal contact with Jesus.
God judges a man not by his achievements, but by his purposes: not by what I am, actually, but by what I would be, in the yearning of my inmost heart.
The life is the indorsement of the lips.
It is only as the heart is fired that the brain awakens.
The secret of purity, and the momentum that shall keep us pure, comes through constant contact with Jesus.
