Never confuse activity with productivity.

Success is not something you get out of what you do.

Just as faith without works is dead, so also works without faith.

It is not the law, and not the book, not the knowledge of what is right, that works obedience, but the personal influence of God and His living fellowship. And even so it is not the knowledge of what God has promised, but the presence of God Himself as the Promiser, that awakens faith and trust in prayer.

As faith strengthens us for obedience, it is in turn strengthened by it. Faith is made perfect by works.

Just as the light of the sun, while it invigorates a living and animated body, produces effluvia in a carcass; so it is certain that the sacraments where the Spirit of faith is not present, breathes mortiferous rather than vital odour.

We are in no position to rely upon God's promises unless we obey his commandments. Now

And any declaration of faith that does not result in a changed life and good works is a false declaration. It is faith alone that justifies. But faith that justifies can never be alone.

Don't think you can relax yourself to happiness. Happiness comes as a result of doing.

Faith that saves has one distinguishing quality: saving faith is a faith that produces obedience; it is a faith that brings about a way of life.

Faith is required of thee, and a sincere life, not loftiness of intellect, nor deepness in the mysteries of God.

Here is the rule: the way you live reveals what you really think about God.
